Hope there's no repeats !!!

Nation, seeing those pics is almost as good as being there. There were no repeats, but I did wonder if they were all taken in /around Giza.

Loved the camel - well, no, I can't pick out that one specially. Loved them all.

The trip to Egypt I'd been planning for 2009 has had to be put off, and I was feeling a bit miserable about that until it crossed my mind that there's always 2010, and that will give you time to load ALL the pics! Furthermore, it's better to find out these things earlier, rather than later.

Don't hold pics back because they may not be photographer of the year quality, will you? When I saw the lights/humidity-affected one, I thought that it was a particularly clever photographic trick, until I read the caption!

Are you and Nora enjoying going through them?

Mallee ! After all the trouble,( which I won't go into)of saving the pics and programme, I must admit I'm a bit tired of looking at them.
I took everything to the computer shop. They couldn't solve problems between the four `whiz kids` down there. So I brought it all home, and after two days , with the help of the `wizard`, and Sony, I now have all back !
To answer your questions; No , not all pics were around Giza. Places like Edfu, Aswan ,Nubian island ,Luxor. You visit quite a few places in the space of the twelve days of cruising !
I have one more set of pics, and that will cover just about all.
Glad you like them !

Just keep adding your pics. The shots are so real, like being part of it all. Any other places you guys have been, would like to see those places too. Barb

You got me thinking now Barb ! Just when did we buy the digital camera. We've certainly done a few TT trips. I'll have a look.

Looking forward to seeing them.

Hi Nation, lots of great photos thank you! If you want to post some non digital photos, try taking a photo of the old photo with your digital camera. Not perfect - you have to watch the reflections- but not too bad either. I've done it a few times as a quick solution, probably make the purists in the photography world shriek though!

I've been popping into town where the shop will scan them, sending them back to me by E-mail. They make a nice job of them. In fact, I'll put a couple on the gallery later, under a heading `E-mail pics` just to show you,

Yes that is definately better. My scanner unfortunately passed away and I haven't got round to replacing it, always something more urgent. I've used the taking a photo of a photo option on occasions like "Mum, I need to take a photo to school tomorrow of me when I was a baby" and it's 8pm! So they get a DIY home printed job!

Thanks nation, I enjoyed looking at these pics too. I think I have finally cinvinced hubby that Egypt is next -he's worried about security!

nation ~ These photo's are fantastic, thank you.

Jewel ! Tell hubby , I felt safer in Egypt , than I did in Italy !
I think everyone on our tour commented how friendly the Egyptians were.
Out of the two tours we did back to back, the only `unsafe` part , was at the top of the rock of Gibraltar, and the Barbary( ?) apes. The ladies were warned NOT to open their bags in front of a monkey, and not to give children sweets in front of a monkey.
But the monkeys got their treats, and children lost sweets, and Mum's lost some contents of their bags, as some chose to ignore their tour guide's advice !!!

How naughty animals can be! Reminds of Hayman Isalnd where they have a notice in the rooms warning you NOT to leave your ranchslider open. Some people forgot and came back to find the contents of their mini bar raided by the local cockatiels! They especially like the sweets! Ouch, expensive lesson.

nation, Your pics are so nice. Anymore Egypt? They are so real, and I really like the street scenes. Enjoying all of them. Barb
