Postcards from Egypt

I ,ve just returned from Egypt. Everything was fine until a week before we returned, a little local difficulty.... a Revolution.To be honest we didn't come across any problems down on the Red sea, but it was concerning none the less. I think a lot of Brits and Americans in particular experienced problems in getting out of Cairo quickly.
Egyptian people in general are lovely friendly people who deserve a much better standard of living and political freedom. Democracy does not exist in Egypt and people are fed up with a Dictator and regime who deny their people basis human rights. I hope and pray that this does not deteriorate into either a bloodbath or a fundamentalist islamic state making the world even more unsafe than it is already. God Bless the people of Egypt.

Here are a few Watercolour sketches from my recent visit.

 Sharks bay Sharm el Sheikh

 Bougainvillaea just outside of our room.

 It took me ages to get a photo of this Camel . Every time I got out my camera the camels owner demanded money.I waited until he went into a shop and Snap !. smelly things camels.

 My feet

 More Bougainvillaea...........

 Apart from pigeons and Egrets the only other birds you seem to see are sparrows.

 Now I had problems getting the Water chute right I think I have just about go away with it.
