Yesterday we investigated the 301 bus that runs from the Jolie Ville about a 12 minute walk away. The ticket system is like Oyster, with a single charge irrespective of distance. The great thing about the bus is we can take the buggy, whereas it wouldn't fit in the boot of a taxi. We realise we may need to collapse it if the bus is busy, but haven't needed to so far.
Today we travelled a bit further than yesterday and went to the glorious Herastrau Park. The bus stops on a bridge over the huge lake, so we got off and walked around the lake before heading to a playground. It was here that Leila finally rode a camel which, as we wrote about a few months ago, was a bit of a scary prospect in Cairo. The one today was, however, made if pink plastic and mounted in a roundabout. She still loved it though!
We planned to take the bus home from another bus stop, but struggled to find it. However, a man at the road crossing saw that we were a bit lost and pointed us in the right direction. From there it was as easy as, well, taking a bus.
