Dubai Thursday

Defeated by breakfast once again, I readied myself for an even greater challenge – the Dubai Mall.

Dubai Wednesday

We are at the Mandarin Oriental, one of the poshest hotels I’ve ever stayed in. It was clear this morning that we have reached peak breakfast.

Egypt map

My photo library shows where we’ve been in Egypt, a very handy feature.

Nile Sunday

Cruised into Esna at 8 and were soon venturing out for the short walk to the Esna Temple.

Nile apology

Thanks for your messages of concern re the gap in posts, so soon after my bout of sickness. There was nothing sinister going on, just a failure of internet functionality I.e. I thought I’d posted at the airport but hadn’t.

Nile – Saturday

An early start for those of us making the trip to Abu Simbel. It’s an added extra that less than half of us decided to take.
