Eastern Mediteranean

The alarm went off at 2:30am. The mini bus would pick us up a 3 for the trip to Masada. We would hike up to watch the sunrise over the Dead Sea. What a hike! It started out gentle and got steeper and steeper until we were hauling ourselves up the many ...

Egypt - the start of our trip home!

If you have not yet been to Egypt - go! We had the best time there, travelled with a great group of people and saw some amazing things. Seeing 5000 years worth of history right infront of you can't be beaten! ...

 

Egypt

Finally! A visit to Egypt. A place that has been on our to do list for ages. We went over the Easter period for two weeks and due to the lack of time we decided to do a tour. Happy with that. Doing a tour took some getting use to, but that paid off wit...

 

Egypt, April 2006

I arrived in Cairo to my first taste of warm, sunny weather in seven months. I was just in time for the group welcome dinner. There were 90 of us to entertain. We would later be split into smaller groups – approximately 50 over seven feluccas, and t...

 

Egypt - May 2005

This was probably one of the most exciting trips I will ever do. The trip was a whole lot of travel agents from around the world all going to check out the sites of Egypt. Amazing stuff - pyramids etc. Definately something I would suggest everyone d...

 

London 1995

After a night in the upstairs room of a pub with an Australian girl called Corrina and a bottle of tequila I am smitten. She leaves a few days later to work in a pub in the Gambia. I book a ticket and fly back to Africa for the first time since leaving...

 

Egypt & Jordan 2006

We were all pretty happy to be on firm, dry land in Sharm el-Sheikh, then got on a minibus for about 2 hours for the drive north to Dahab. At a refueling stop Kym ventured into - quote: "possibly the worst toilet I've ever seen in my life". A...

Middle Eastern Adventure (Jul-Sep 2005)

I'm getting a bit sick of climbing mountains (Gallipoli, Mt Olympos, Mt Nemrut, Mt Nebo, Petra may as well be a mountain, and now Mt Sinai). This time we had to get up at 3am to be up at the summit to watch the sunrise - crazy, considering that you can...

 

"Rockin' Year in the Berg"

Today was quite a day in Athens. I got up early with plans to go to Olympia, but found out everything closed at 3pm. Since I wouldn't get there until 11:30 with the 5 hour train ride, I figured I could find better things to do with my day. Because I...

 

Egypt

Day 1 Getting out of whatever port we dock in has consistently involved getting seriously ripped off by the first taxi we are forced to take-there simply aren't any other options than paying the ridicules port taxi prices. Egypt was exa...

 

First Trip to Egypt

The first 5 minutes after arriving in Egypt will tell you all you need to know about this wonderful country. Crowded with more people than the UK (in a smaller area), an Ex-british protectorate so still having a very british sense of beurocracy and ad...

 

Egypt: part 1

Where do I begin with Egypt???? Wow! An amazing country and experience. It's interesting to write this blog ...there are so many things that have happened that words or pictures cannot capture. I will say arriving to Cairo was the true beginning ...

 

Ancient Egypt Trip, Piramid

We took a flight from Kiev, Ukraine to Hurghada, Egypt in the early morning. It took about 4 hours. The same day in the evening, we took dinner in a restaurant of the Reemyvera Family Club Hotel. It was a newly build hotel. The only problem in this...

 

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...

 

Europe Photo Album 2005 -2007

Various shots of tourist sites around London taken in the year and a bit I lived there. I really got to know London well after I bought my bike. London is surprisingly bicycle friendly (better than Auckland) and I would ride from home to work basic...

Day 9 Morning flight to Dubai. Construction is everywhere in Dubai…and the buildings are so modern and stylish. Dubai is really very rich!!! After visiting the city on the tour bus, we were dropped off at Madinat Jumeirah Hotel. We just wandered aroun...

 

Egypt 2005

Up at 3.00AM, My God! We had sat up until 12 the night before watching "I Want To Be A Hilton", which featured insane Americans displaying embarrasing degrees of a lack of grip on reality - it was a cringing television experience yet we could...

My Fantastic Voyage to Egypt, Mother of Ancient Civilization

So, if you plan on going to Egypt, you might as well have a local tour guide. Unless of course you speak fluent Arabic and can drive better than the worst NYC cab driver. We were forutnate to be given a firsthand look at the city of Cairo on our f...

Christmas in Egypt 2005

Egypt was amazing and i will never forget my time spent there. I was there for 15 days over the Christmas/NY period. A little warmer than London i can tell you! We started our journey in Cairo checking out the museums and pyramids of Giza. Tr...
