Cairo, Egypt

Well, I made it to Egypt!! ..BUT, not without A LOT of hassle and near entire trip cancelation once arriving in Germany…

Long story short- the Lufthansa agent in Germany hates me, I hate her, and the Frankfurt airport is unreasonably large and stupid.

My American COVID vaccination card is unacceptable. My American COVID PCR test, is unacceptable. After a heated argument with airline staff, I was bumped from my flight into Cairo from Germany where I was laid over. I was beyond frantic. I may have cried or whatever. Then I got mad. Like, fucking pissed. I was told that I needed to get an acceptable COVID PCR test in Germany, one that has a QR code, before I could rebook my flight to Egypt. I ran around from 7am until 3pm in the afternoon trying to find the right directions from someone who spoke English, the right location, the right line, the right test. It was probably one of the most terrible travel scenarios I’ve experienced, and I’ve encountered lots of bullshit. Fucking COVID man… I ended up having to spend 200€ to get a 1hr COVID PCR test WITH A QR CODE. Then I ran around and was finally able to rebook my flight to Cairo.

On a positive note- I TOUCHED THE PYRAMIDS IN GIZA TODAY! So fucking surreal guys…still in a haze from the long journey here, but I’M IN EGYPT.
