It’s amazing to think that archeologists are still finding amazing new discoveries after all these years but I read today in both The Guardian and The Mail that a new “tomb door” has been discovered at Luxor Temple. 

Barbara and I were only there last November and I think that you forget when visiting these amazing places that there is still ongoing work taking place at the same time you are walking around.

Here are the details from the Mail’s coverage:

“Archaelogists in Egypt have uncovered a 3,500-year-old ‘door to the afterlife’ belonging to the tomb of a high-ranking royal advisor.
The 175cm red granite false door, the likes of which were found in most ancient Egyptian tombs, was built to take the spirits of the dead to and from the afterworld. Continue reading “New Discovery at Luxor Temple”

I know this has nothing to do with Nile Cruises but we spotted these garden ornaments (!!) at our local garden centre yesterday.  Only £59 for the Ghoul below,  (think I’ll get it), and who wouldnt’ want the meercats staring back at them through the French windows?

I hope you’ve been watching the marvelous BBC travel programme “Tropic Of Cancer“.

Hosted by the excellent Simon Reeve it follows his journey along the Tropic Of Cancer, a journey of some 25,000 miles.

Simon is a great presenter and you can tell he really enjoys what he’s doing and it comes across so well on screen.  The great thing about the programmes is that he doesnt’ “do” the normal travelogue things.  For instance in the first programme about his journey across Mexico he starts to follow the trail of the terrible drug wars that are now taking place in Mexico.  His involvment even gets him almost shot when the police team he is trailing get involved in a shoot-out.

From November onwards there will be a new Bristol to Luxor service available.  That would connect nicely with the MS Monica Nile cruise that departs each Wednesday.

If you would like more details please call either Barbara or myself on Freephone 0808 1089 100

For the past 100 years I have always been a Windows user and have owned and used a variety of PC’s.  However after months of “window-shopping” in the Apple shop in Liverpool I finally succumbed to the “lure” of the Mac and have just taken possession of a beautiful 27inch iMac.

It’s a thing of beauty and the graphics are just stunning.  I need it for the ability to create web content and to edit the masses of video footage that we obtained when we were took our last Nile Cruise and Cairo trip in November.  (Honestly…)

That’s my excuse and I’m sticking to it!
