As with all video there is always the ‘stuff’ that generally ends up not in the video, kind of fun though.
Egypt Gallery 2009
Egypt was a fun trip. It started with a mass email to a group of friends. In the end 8 of us showed up in a hotel bar in Cairo in 2009. (if you click on an image the...
Egypt the Out Takes Video
Come on admit it. You’ve done it haven’t you? Strolled along with the video on filming the sidewalk, started the video only to have whole groups of people walk in between you and you subject matter, been caught doing...
Last Day In Egypt
So its a little sad really but its our last day here in Egypt since we fly out tonight. We decided to see the Pyramids and the Sphinx by daylight today. Mum and Dad decided that they would not...
Giza Shopping & Sound & Light Show
Ok so I skipped the entry for yesterday. It was yet another day spent travelling from Nuweiba to our hotel in Giza this time by bus and taxi once here in Cairo. We’re drawing to the last few days...
Taxi’s & Ferry’s
Not really all that much to tell from today. It was a travel day filled with the hassles one tends to get on such days. It started out all right, the taxi I’d booked the night before arrived on...
Day 2 Above the Treasury
We weren’t really in a hurry this morning so we took our time. On the agenda for today our second day to explore Petra was one of the hikes. After reading through the description of some of the hikes,...
A Day Exploring Petra

On the Road to Bahariya
This morning we headed back to Siwa, changed cars and drivers then headed out on the road to Bahariya Oasis. Now on the map it says in brackets and small print (paved road in poor condition). I’d say there...
Problems & a Safari
Today we had some problems to start with that followed us for a bit. I will say this if you are heading to the Siwa Oasis do not stay at the Keylany Hotel. The prices have gone up significantly....
Siwa by Donkey Drawn Taxi
First up this morning, well ok it wasn’t exactly early since nothing here really opens until about 9 am but the first thing we tried to do was coffee. Sounds odd for me doesn’t it… Still this coffee shop...
Exploring Some of Alexandria
Alexandria is decidedly cooler than Luxor, given how hot it was in Luxor it makes the temperature here pleasant. Its actually the 22 May at the moment and I’m on the bus on the way to Siwa. I figured...
Alexandria
Last night we caught the Night train back to Cairo, waving good bye to the Flats in Luxor that had been ‘home’ for the last few days. We had no problems at the train station and this time the...
