Do you suggest that I don't eat lunch?

I would never suggest that...maybe just skip arvo tea

Breakfast this morning leaving Broken Hill.

From hotel, Aswan, Egypt.

Very good 13h overnight train trip CAI-ASW last night.

Tourism in Egypt is running at c. 10% of peak. Has picked up compared with last year, so it's a great time to visit! No safety issues.

Sutton Bank - billed as the finest view in England and it is pretty spectacular

Rievaulx Abbey - I've never seen so many pheasants in one place

Lots of planes around

As a long time glider pilot (since I was 15 years old) I did enjoy this photo!

I can say the same about Turkey. Last year there was no one here, this year there are short lines at the major attractions, but it’s a great time to visit. Have not felt unsafe here at all.

We flew to Bodrum yesterday. It feels very much like the Greek Islands here, which really is no surprise since it’s only a twenty minute ferry ride to Kos.

I wonder if Alexander wore his fishnets and heels for the unveiling?

 

[RooFlyer]

Probably would have been in his short pants ... it was his father who did the honours. (unless it was a family trait )

I think Sir Alick was a little less flamboyant than his son.

Ahh, we learn something every day! Many thanks for the correction! (I should have read the date on the plaque)!

Sunset tonight - just north of York (UK)

Did a fabulous wine tour of Galacian Albariño area with Alistair McManus today. Home - North West Iberia Wine Tours



Will do a TR on this when time permits but returned to Santiago de Compostela to be greeted by this to finish off a brilliant day.

View from lunch today - well view for a short time before we moved on to another view!

 

[JohnM]

MS E70 due to take us from Aswan to Abu Simbel (site of the Ramses 2 statues) for a day trip has gone tech. A replacement bird is apparently coming over from CAI. We're assured that our trip will happen (it's a key highlight.). Silver lining may be that we get to see sunset at the monument.

 

[JohnM]

At the Old Cataract Hotel at Aswan on the Nile (where Agatha Christie stayed while she wrote Death on the Nile.)

Ho hum...

 

[JohnM]

Some interior views of the Old Cataract.

Pretty rubbish...

 

[Deleted member 29185]

Very nice. I love the photo of the Nile!

 

[TomVexille]

How terrible @JohnM. Not sure how you're surviving

We stayed at Old Cateract Hotel too. 7th floor in the new wing.
