Smith the Traveller

"The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes." Marcel Proust

The Sphinx – battered but still majestic.

Peekaboo with a slightly friendly camel.

Despite all warnings to the contrary some people will insist on climbing….

Yours truly – wearing a winter jacket, scarf and wishing for mitts!

To give you some idea of the scale of Khufu’s Pyramid – thats the guard having his lunch.

Our transportation; high to climb into and rather rickety.

It is extraordinary how desolate this place is.

On the horizon to the left you can just see bit of the Cairo skyline.
