A Thing or Two Two-Leggers Can Learn From Egyptian History

June 22, 2012 by 2 Comments

Can’t believe I need to explain this to you all, but then again, two-leggers have never been known for their intelligence.

 

A historic institution that knows have to properly celebrate the great ones (aka cats).

 

If you can’t listen to me, the superior being, then take a page out of the book of one of the World’s most meowed about museums, the Museum of Egyptian Antiquities.

 

I am Cat. Hear me roar!

 

Cats are Goddesses. Now hurry up and give my ear a scratch and get me some treats.  Run along now … I don’t like waiting!

Egyptian Daily Diaries: Red Boot Roamancing on the Red Sea

May 9, 2012 by Leave a Comment

Having a good chuckle at our producer, Erica Hargreave, and her obsession with the Roamancing Red Boots.  Little did she know why they got us so many smiles and laughs in Egypt. I found out though with the help of my super sleuthing skills.

No, seriously I have … just without the horse.  I did take a picture of a donkey though.

#FriFotos ~ Nile Beauty

A Blissful Start to our Egyptian Adventures

With this week’s #FriFotos focused on flowers, I couldn’t help but reflect back on the past week in Egypt and this beautiful first Egyptian memory, enjoying a sleepy coffee (with warm milk) overlooking the Nile from the Fairmont Nile City Cairo, all beautifully accented by an orchid.  Certainly a blissful start to our adventures.

Egyptian Daily Diaries: Fayoum ~ Ancient Seabed to Budding Artists

May 3, 2012 by 8 Comments

Despite the best laid out plans, corrupt video, internet connectivity and far too much fun held up my Egyptian Daily Diaries, but I did still film them and will be sharing them with you now that I am back home.

From Day 2 of our Egyptian holiday and a fascinating day trip to Fayoum, here are Lucy Duck and I, from the fabulous tub at the Fairmont Nile City Cairo:

 

 

A few pics from the day and a tease of what’s to come from some more involved posts on Fayoum on Roamancing:
