We're hoping to avoid those by going in spring time :)

Balloon ride is in the plan!

I've just had a look back over my photos ... ahh I had the good old 30D on that trip!!!

My mom is actually taking me on this holiday, so she's planned it all out. Start in Aswan for a few days, then a couple of days on the nile to luxor and a few days there, then to cairo before heading home. It's 2 weeks in total and lots of cool stuff including a nights stay out in the desert, a balloon ride etc. I'm looking forward to it :)

Hopefully your one will be better than mine in Morocco. After accepting the local berber tea (which tasted foul), the beds were just mats on the ground with smelly horse (camel?) blankets for warmth. A mouse also got into our tent and kepy us awake all night and the following morning the berber tea gave me a dose of gastro for a week. Happy days!;)

Looks very cool! I'm not really one to stick on one place on holidays though, I like to move about :)

Mental note, stay away from berber tea :)

Actually, the same thing happened to me in tibet with Yak butter tea (which is exactly what it sounds like). Foreign teas are best avoided it seems.


I'm really looking forward to the night in the desert to be honest. I'm already thinking of the star trail photos!

Ah, I wish I had that option. We had to carry everything we could in on a camel so the tripod got left behind in favour of a change of clothes :lol:

I can barely tolerate PG tips, let alone Yak Butter tea, I think I'd struggle to put yak butter on yak toast tbh ;)

Mums are good at that. Mine loves me so long as I take her on regular holidays ... the one she has in mind at the moment is a cruise to St Petersburg, although she can only find one that has enough days in St Petersburg and I can't afford that at the moment!!
