♥ Breathe and Trust ♥

Standard

Relaxation
is not
laziness.
Taking photos under water is not easy

You don't always need a plan.
Sometimes you just have to
breathe
trust
and let go
and see what happens.

More Highlights from Bavaria ♥

Standard

Bavaria has wonderful villages.

We went to traditional beer gardens.

There were many storks on top of the houses.
Maypole

We went to see a mediaeval Castle called Harburg Castle

from 11th/12th century.

The town below was Nördlingen, a town

built in a meteorite crater, formed 15 million years ago.

Beautifully old houses and city walls.

Le Touquet – France days out

Standard

A short rest in France.

We found a beautiful little town by the seaside.

Fantastic sand dunes and beach.

It was great fun swimming and jumping into the waves.

The town has beautiful quirky houses,

a covert market , parks and more

As it is on the coast,

there was plenty of fresh fish.

I loved my real french Mousse au chocolat.



It was a very clean, green and very polite town.

Definitley a place to re-visit.


Travel is an investment in itself.

Travelling
it leaves you speechless,

Adventure is worthwhile and the best way to learn.

Egypt Holiday memories final – Part 7

Standard

Mummification Museum

In Luxor we visited the interesting Mummification Museum.

The Jackal head of Anubis

Last glimpse of Luxor Temple.

At last I got to ride a camel.

A fantastic experience.

Adventures are the best way to learn.

The holiday was amazing and I will treasure all those memories.

We met lovely people, food was delicious and plenty

and all Egytians were always smiling and friendly.

We made fantastic beautiful memories.

It was a holiday of a lifetime.

Egypt Holiday memories Part 6

Standard

Old Cataract Hotel

This is the hotel where “Death on the Nile” -from Agatha Christie was filmed.

We went to have Afternoon Tea.

While waiting for the tea we roamed around and enjoyed the amazing hotel.

It had closed for 3 years to be refurbished to its current glory.

Winston Churchill stayed here among other famous guests.

The cruise went back from Aswan to Luxor.

We had a bit of time on deck, it was windy during the journey,

still wonderful to watch the banks of the Nile go by.

Towel Management

Every day we came back to the room, our towels had a different shape.

I loved it. ❤️❤️❤️

Collect moments,
not things!

Egypt Holiday memories Part 5

Standard

Next was Philae Temple.

This temple was being flooded, so they decided to relocate it closeby.

There were 47,000 pieces which had to be reconstructed.

Philae Temple

There is a little temple extra for Hathor.

Hathor is portrayed on these columns- from right to left her smile gets bigger.

Aswan Market

The Market was beautifully colourful with many spices and goods.

Of course you had to barter the Egyptian way to buy anything, it was fun.

Hibiskus was plentyful and the tea and juice tasted divine.

I googled my symptoms,
turns out 
I just need a vacation.
😉♥♥♥ 😊

Egypt Holiday memories Part 4

Standard

Further along the Nile we came to Esna where Edfu Temple is.

Edfu Temple

This temple was for Horus, the God with the Falcon head.

His wife was Hathor and his parents were Isis and Osiris. Horus wanted revenge as Seth had killed his father. Horus found Seth and killed him after fierce battle. This is all documented on Edfu temple.

Next was the massive Aswan Dam

A impressive Dam is built to control the flow of the Nile. When they open it, they have the flooding season.

The Lotus building at Aswan Dam. Behind is Lake Nasser.

You don't need magic to disappear,

All you need is a destination.
