I just came back from a two-week adventure in Africa with my DH.  We spent one week in Egypt gaping at colossal statues, walking through beautifully decorated tombs and climbing inside the Great Pyramid.  

    I don’t think I can even pick just one favourite 

creation of this awe-inspiring ancient culture.  It boggles the mind to understand what stunning architecture and monuments they created so long ago.

    From Egypt we flew on to Nairobi for a week’s stay in two game reserves, up close and personal with Kenya’s wildlife. 

    Kenya is a wildy beautiful country with the friendliest people and stunning scenery.  With the help of our expert guide/drivers we saw and photographed the Big Five.  Elephants, cape buffalos, leopards, lions and rhinos are the Big Five, not because they are the largest animals but because they were known to be the most difficult to hunt, back in the days when hunting large animals was considered sport.  

    Now they are shot with cameras and the rangers are on site to protect them from poachers and over-zealous tourists. 

    We had so many incredible moments on this trip and had so many fantastic experiences.  Africa will live in a part of me for a long time to come.
