walk like an egyptian..


Lol, to think that a whole dance craze songs and all derived from the way Egyptians were depicted in early hieroglyphics.

Anyway End of August, i went to Egypt with my better half, and it was 99% great,
weather, resort , food were all top notch.

Snorkeling in the red sea and quad biking through the desert made for good times

I spent hours in the sea, just looking at the beautiful coral and the plethora of tropical fish and the odd evil looking death fish or jellyfish that appeared out of nowhere.

It is a different world in the deep blue, forget going to space for now-- we need to check out the bottom of the ocean.

The pyramids of Giza were amazing and definitely need to be seen. 4,000 years old and still standing, understand that Cairo has the odd earthquake reaching quite high in the Richter scale.
These things were around before Christ.

There are 111 pyramids in Egypt and these 3 are the creme, although these are glorified tombs and sign of mans vanity they are still .WOW. the only remaining wonder of the Ancient world.

The museum was also a hot spot literally, the highlight being the Tutankhamen room dedicated to the findings of the boy king who reigned from the age of 9 for 9 years. One of the most famous ancient Egyptians, you can only marvel at the craftsmanship, especially of the tomb in a tomb in a tomb in a tomb.

next stop JAPAN bang bang
