So it's the new year and I'm finishing the blog and about to turn it over to Harold to post the photos, and random items keep coming to mind.
History - There is so much left out of my notes about the 5000 years of history that we learned about ... it is just impossible to include it here. Fortunately for my personal use I have several books purchased in Egypt that will help me refresh my memory when questions come to mind.
Fun Fact #1 - At each historical stop we made, we received colorful tickets with holograms for security purposes. Our collection of these will be part of the mementos that we keep from this trip.
Fun Fact #2 - The cabin stewards aboard our two cruise boats were extraordinary artists and used our clean towels, quilts, pillows and pillow cases, water bottle caps, and personal items such sunglasses, cameras, and pens to create monkeys, crocodiles, hearts, sunbathers, and other creatures in our cabins - sometimes two in a day! Such fun and such surprises. I think this is fairly common on cruises and we totally enjoyed it on our Egyptian cruises.
Fun Fact #3 - Bakeries in Egypt are awesome!
Fun Fact #4 - When the tour book says lots of walking and steep stairs to descend and ascend ... believe it!
Fun Fact #5 - If you ever have wanted to go to Egypt, go now! The revolution has dessimated the tourism business and touring is wonderful without crowds and with attention at the highest service levels ... despite the harassment of the street vendors.
Fun Fact #6 - I'm so glad we went ... I want to go again!
Fun Fact #7 - Our tour group was terrific! Thanks for the memories!
Fun Fact #8 - Our program manager Mohamed Anwar was the best! Thanks and be safe!
