"Call me Antonio"

We went to explore our surroundings and because of the heat Roy needed to cover his head. So we ended up in a big shopping street with high standard cafeteria's and decided to look there. 

The Egyptian people are very kind and want to show you their heritage. "Come, come, follow me". So we ended up with "Antonio's" you know, "for my customers ". And he ordered tea for us. "Please make yourselves at home in my shop". "Try this hat (a traditional fez) or this one like Yasser Arafat" and laughed wholeheartedly. 

It showed this was only side business for him. Because his real skills, knowledge and passion lies within oil "not ordinary, but essences, from this they make all the aftershave and eau-de-cologne from the world." 

I thought yeah right. But the more he told us, the more he really knew about it. No alcohol but pure essence. One drop. We did not buy anything but the hat. It was a very kind man with knowledge of traditional healing, oils and also meditation. 

Thank you "mister Antonio, just for tourists". 😎
