Hi everyone,
I know you have all been looking forward to my impressions of our latest part of our adventure... well maybe.
What to say... Cario is a city of contrasts, rich or poor, ancient or new, clean or dirty. We have seen it all. THe noise is overpowering and the dirt gets into everything but ... that moment yesterday morning when I stood at the step pyramid and it seemed to materialise from the mist (smog) was incrediable (I just got goose bumps again thinking about it). It was magical, there is no other word for it. There was nothing there one moment and then it was there the next wow.
The museum today was very special too, Ralf has written of the amount of people and those who know me well will know how hard it is for me to be in enclosed spaces, well today I met some very interesting people and some people got a lovely view of the front of me squished up against the cabinet!!! The high ceilings in the museum were all that helped me hold it together.
Sitting waiting for our ride to the train station to arrive and trying to send emails but primus is not cooperating so to Lynn and Pam sorry, I have tried. Great to hear from everyone keep them coming, nit sure what reception will be like as we head to Aswan so happy new year to all if I dont get to message before then and happy painting Gerv... Seb and Steph look after Uncle Gerv!!!

Amazing! The photos are incredible! To be there amongst so much history must be magic. Keep having fun. Em
ReplyDeleteHi Ralf and Sam, Wow! The pics of Egypt are fantastic! You are both looking great too by the way! After looking at the photos I find myself wanting to go to Egypt for the first time ever. What an amazing journey, I am so thrilled for you both that you are on this incredible adventure. Sam when you get back and we have high tea you will be able to do all the accents now and tell me where you did actually go! How wonderful! Love to you both, Vic xoxo
ReplyDeleteMy god mother, have you not been able to use your vocabulary until now or something. That was the most descriptive blog about Egypt that i think ive ever read. Im missing you guys loads, but im keeping busy, and i cant wait for you two to come home. Dont forget to buy me LOTS of presents.
ReplyDeleteLove you both, xx
Hi Ralf and Sandra, The photos are magnificent and you certainly are revelling in your travels. Roll on Abu Simbel. Hope you have a good New Year's Eve on your Nile Cruise, but perhaps it would be wise not to drink too much champagne so you are steady in the balloon the next morning. Cheers, Chris
