Aloha everybody,

I think nobody could have missed the daily news from Egypt. As it is, I've just been there... not in the middle of it... but we've seen the beginnings of the first demonstration day. At that time we where in the "Museum of Egypt" (which lies near the centre of the city) when we suddenly had to leave the building and were escorted by police. Our bus wasn't there and we had to take any bus and leave directly for our hotel. On our way we heard people chanting, saw human chains blocking streets, fully armed. It was scary... but that was all we saw. We left Cairo just one day later and had no problems on our way to Hurghada... but there the news become more and more urgent and we felt very insecure because even the German staff of the hotel did not get the same information we got from German television... I get the point of the people on the streets but when I learnt the day before yesterday that the museum and others had been plundered, mummies distroyed, statues thausends and thausends of years old knocked over, treasures from the tomp of Tutankhamun taken and/or distroyed... I cried... its just unbelievable for me how anybody can do this to this culture... which, as our travel guide Ali put it, doesn't belong to Egpyt but to the world...

Nevertheless *searching for words... I had a wonderful trip from Luxor to Assuan and back by ship... I will post some pictures of this trip in the next days... please keep in mind, that those do not reflect the mood of Egypt now... most of them are very peaceful shots... I hope you will enjoy them and put the news aside for one split second.

Take care everybody :rose:,
Benita
