Europe Adventures 2006

We stopped in Graz for 2 days and have stayed for 7! We have had such a fantastic time being shown around the lovely city and beautiful countryside. Relaxing was the name of the game! Andrea and Charlie made us feel very welcome so too did the rest...

The Trek Home

We spent a few days chilling out in Dahab on the Red Sea Coast. Fantastic snorkelling just off the main beach and at the Blue Hole 5 mins up the coast. From Dahab we headed to Cairo (rather scary van ride to get there - crazy drivers!). A day in C...
