Title: Egypt Post by: flc on April 02, 2008, 12:29:49 AM Hi folks just got back from Egypt, took some manky stickers with me to put on the tombs, and take some photo's but it seams the police over there are quite keen, :) so after being shouted at by an angry guy with a gun, i decided not to spend my holiday locked up, so these are the only pics of mankys in Egypt(http://i199.photobucket.com/albums/aa219/FLC_photo/egypt203.jpg) this is looking back at paradise island in the red sea

Title: Re: Egypt Post by: Manky Monkey on April 02, 2008, 09:39:14 AM Well I think a couple of weeks in jail's a small price to pay for a bit of global advertising. ;D
Any interesting vehicles in Tutenkahman land Mick? Title: Re: Egypt Post by: flc on April 02, 2008, 09:55:54 AM No, all i saw was loads of cg125 copys and toyota pic ups, the speed bumps on the main roads were like small hills, about 3foot high!
i was speaking to some locals telling them i build chops, "no understand", " why take a running vehicle to pieces?" tried to educate them :) but where we stayed was on the edge of the desert so i suppose food and water were the main concerns, but some tunisian workers i spoke to had bikes back home, and kept saying " you have harley?" i think they need help :) i asked the rep about vehicle hire and he raised his eyebrows and said no, we dont recomend it, i wont even drive here, cars and taxis just stop without warning in the middle of the dual carrigeways! Was very happy to get back and fire my bike up :) Title: Re: Egypt Post by: Manky Monkey on April 02, 2008, 10:37:33 AM Sounds a bit like Basingstoke. :)
Title: Re: Egypt Post by: Tori on April 02, 2008, 06:31:04 PM I went last year! Mahmiya (Paradise Island) is fantastic! Really good snorkelling :) What hotel were you in in Hurghada? We stayed in the Albatros resort. It's all Germans and Russians isn't it? Not an english resort at all.
That tomb is Hatshepsut's temple. Built for the female Pharoah Hatshepsut. Stunning. A really interesting place is Egypt. looks like you did what we did? A week in Luxor doing the temples, then a week on the red sea diving? Tori Title: Re: Egypt Post by: tazet on April 02, 2008, 09:33:10 PM I want to go. Looks like I would really enjoy exploring. Ok the challenge is the first manky member who can get a photo of themself with a manky sticker stuck on a tomb gets a trophy ;D
