The Walkabout....

Hello down there in the land of oz!

Just a quick little update. Finally moved back into my house last Thurs, renos are still being done, but mainly finished now. Still feel like a bit ofa gypsy though, stayed sat and sun nite at my friend Penny's place (she works in a lovely little hostel). Anyway just did a bit of travel shopping this weekend, and then last night went to the walkabout.

Anyone who has lived in the UK or visited here would know about the walkabout......Its basically a place for all the aussies/kiwis staying over here to go to a local authentic 'aussie' pub with sports and best of all snakebites. It is renowned for being EXTREMELY trashy but still very popular (go figure..) So how I managed to avoid heading there until now was a great feat. Anyway just to let you all know had a BIG trashy night there which im quite ashamed of. But shhh don't tell anyone, secretly I had fun =)

Hope alls well. Lots of love xo

Crazy Ciaro

Helloooo there

Still in Egypt and having fun =)

We rode donkeys at sunrise into the valley of the kings the other day. Was so much fun. I named my donkey wilbur and he was great!! Always wanted to lead the pack. The valley of the kings was great, its the site where loads of kings were buried in their tombs, most famous being tuttenkahmen (excuse the spelling!). We actually didnt go into his tomb because it apparently wasnt as great as the ones we did see - a few king ramses i think the 1st, 4th and 9th. All were really cool, all the heiroglyphs and paintings were preserved from 3000 years ago. We hiked in the heat over the mountains of the valley and also visited to workers tombs which were lovely too.

The last few days we spent on the red sea coast town of hurghada. We went on a great snorkelling trip out on the coral reef yesterday which was lovely - so many fish and pretty coloured coral. Not a good as the barrier reef im sure but great all the same!!! The water was turquoise and amazingly warm. Lets just say we all got very suburnt!!!

Back in Ciaro now for a few days then back to cold london =(

Why do holidays always go too fast???


Ciao people take care! xoxo

Walk like an Egyptian...

Hello from afar!

Hope you are all happy and well lovely people =)

I am in Egypt!!!!! How excitement. Been here for almost a week now, but it's gone so fast!! Having an amazing time and lots of fun. Egypt is such an interesting place, the collision and fusion of east and west, old and new is just so in your face, but so interesting. There is definitely no place in the world like it.

First day we went and visited the great pyramids of giza and the sphynx. Its funny because you think you'll never get to these places ever and you just see them in photos and when you actually get there its quite wierd. But good wierd. So they were great. We've visited loads of temples along the way, like Abu Simbel, Edfu, Com ombo, Karnak and others I can't remember the name of off the top of my head! All are just mind boggling, looking at and being able to touch these huge and elaborately decorated structures is amazing. They are so beautiful and so fascinating!

We just spent three days cruising down the nile on a traditional egyptian felucca (sail boat) stopping at little Nubian villages along the way and otherwise lying around in the sun and jumping in the nile for a swim when it gets too hot. The nile is gorgeous and actually quite clean. At night we had bonfires and just lay watching the stars. Very sad to get off but quite a relief to have a nice shower!!!!!!

We've all got a bit of a dodgy tummy atm from yucky hygiene but hey, its all part of the fun travelling in a 3rd world country. Everyone on the tour is great and gets on really well which is nice =) We're off to the valley of the kings tomorrow getting there by riding donkeys at sunrise!! fun!

Best be off but hope you are all well and I promise pictures next time. I'll be home after a week so will write again soon.

Love you all xoxoxo
