Apologies for not posting up the next episode of the Nile Cruise Podcast. With preparing to travel to Kenya I have not been able to finsih editing the latest episode. However I hope to put together a combined Nile Cruise and Kenya Safari Podcast for the next show as soon as possible.

Please watch this space!!

Nile Podcast Image…

I’ve just had a new Nile Cruise Podcast “album” image created by Rebecca at Podcast Designs and here it is!!

You need an “album” image for iTunes when you submit your podcast and it has to be 300 x 300 pixels. So after making a clumsy attempt myself I thought I’d ask the experts. Hope you like it.

Dont’ forget you can subscribe to the Nile Cruise Podcast at iTunes. Just do a search within the “Podcast” category for Nile Cruise and we’ll pop up.

Just a tip…All of the cruise vessels have good landry facailities on board but they can be a little pricey if you just want a few t-shirts or shirts washed. You can wash out your T-shirts and shorts by just bringing some detergent with you, as well as a travel washing line which you can often pick up at Tescos’ or even at the airport in those racks of travel goodies such as electrical adaptors and things.

Next Wednesday I’m off to Kenya and the Masai Mara courtesy of Virgin Holidays.

The reason I am going is to experience first hand a safari and collect original material for our Kenya Holidays and Safari websites.

Just as we have done with the Nile Cruise website I will be taking photographs, shooting video and recording sound files that we can add to those sites to give potential clients a “feel” of an African Safari.

So please watch out for some new developments on both of those sites.

I would like to recommend a wonderful resource for anyone thinking of taking a Nile cruise or for those of you who have travelled to Egypt and would like to find out even more about this mysterious and wonderful country.

I came across EgyptSites when doing some of my own research and realised immediately what a fabulous resource it would be for anyone hoping to visit Egypt.

The site has been lovingly created by Sue Bayfield who obviously has a great passion for the country.

Here, in her own words, are Su’s reasons for putting together such a wonderful resource…

“The website has been designed with two aims. The first is an introduction for first-time visitors to the ancient sites they may encounter on a package tour or Nile cruise – a taster with photographs of what they may see. My second aim is to provide a greater level of detail on the history and archaeology of the monuments for those with a deeper interest in the study of Egypt’s ancient history”.

If you are cruising from Luxor you will be visiting Upper Egypt and if you visit our “typical Nile cruise itinerary page” you will see which of the sites, temples and monuments you will be likely to visit.

Rather than nipping out and buying an Egyptian Travel book I would suggest you visit Su’s website and read her descriptions instead. Su is also an accomplished photographer and she illustrates her descriptions with wonderful photographs that will really whet your appetite. Here is the “Upper Egypt” page from the website…

I have asked Su for permission to link to some of her website’s content as I feel it is truly wonderful resource so please visit the website and enjoy the excellent resources Su has provided. And perhaps you might want to drop her an email telling her what you have enjoyed when exploring the site. If you do please mention that you came across the site whilst reading the Nile Cruises 4u Blog.
