Alexandria

And so onto the historic city of Alex, established in 332 BC by Alexandra the Great. Although nothing much remains of its glorious past (including one of the ancient wonders, the lighthouse of Paros) it has some impressive catacombs, regal colonial buildings, historic coffee shops and the oldest, noisiest tram system we've ever seen. We also stumbled upon a small scale fish market full of charactures more than willing to have their photos taken, even the crab man!
