... my adventure and will<br>cherish the 2 weeks I spent in Egpyt. But as the same time I won´t go<br>back. There are many more unexplored places yet to be discovered and<br>its time for me to follow my heart and go home where my friends and<br>family are and where I can peacefully rest my head with a peace knowing<br>I am right where I belong. So, so long Egpyt and time to rest, relax<br>and recover and enjoy home before i start planning my next<br>adventure....until next time!!!! --- Samantha Jo

... in the deathly arts and the countryside is overrun with zombies. Of course, all of the quality people in the book were trained in Japan for their zombie-killing skills--yet another strike against poor Lizzy. It's actually pretty well done, with more of a League of Extraordinary Gentlemen feel to it than anything else (the graphic novel, not the movie).<br>So let me set the scene a little... we're under a palm cabana, which we are sharing ...

... we packed up to go and on the way out stopped off to do some camel riding. It was a lot of fun and there were a lot of baby camels wandering around too. The guide for the tour was one of the best parts of the experience, a local Bedouin guy who grew up in the desert, owns the company with his brother, and has been doing tours for the past 10 years. He's 33 and spoke English pretty well so we had a ...

... sand in the Rum. It was a peaceful ride in the desert. It was time for something fast paced. 4WD in the Rum. Loading into the back of the utes we were off, with the cold air freezing our faces and hands we entered the dunes for a little bit of hooning around before stopping to take in the surroundings. Deep red sands, dry low lying scrub as far as you can see....our guide Hussain, smiled at us with his gappy black stained teeth, picked up some ...

... snow in the sun. 7) Sand gets into everything. Inside your shoes, inside your socks, in your mouth, ears, nose, eyes, hair, food, tea, water, backpacks...and let's hope not too bad in the cameras. Two months later, and I'm still finding the red sand of Wadi Rum. 8) There are a million more stars in the desert. Holy cow at the stars! 9) I'm not a camping girl. Sleeping in a bedouin tent was an experience I'm glad to say I've done...once ...

... aware that I'm not one for this historical stuff. It doesn't really do much for me. If this site were in Europe, it'd probably be the worlds biggest tourist attraction, it's really quite spectacular. After Petra we went back to Valentine Inn for an excellent dinner, watching the sunset with the Canadian girls on the verandah. Had another early wake up at 6:30am for the bus to Aqaba, and now I'm at the bus station waiting to go the Tel Aviv!

... Zanbar," he said, "Sunset Camp." It was discovered that all eight people on the bus were for him. So we found our way to his shop for tea, while he explained his super tour (for the eight of us) for a good price. It included a six hour jeep tour, dinner and breakfast, and a stay in the desert. Great deal. A little after 9 we piled into two jeeps. Our jeep was an amazing thing. It was started with a "Bedouin key ...

... how to open a window, but it took some fidgeting before he figures out that you have to push at a particular spot before they slide. We had hoped for some cross ventilation, but this would have meant there was a breeze. It was stuffy. At some point in the night, a warm breeze starts and enters the room. We are fine again. And then the dogs start barking, and chasing something through the camp. Back and forth, we feel certain there had to be some ...

... sand, slowing down erosion. Like most things in this part of the world, the tree's history has biblical dimensions. Wood from the acacia tree was used to make the Ark of the Covenant, the chest that cradled the Ten Commandments. Some believe that the burning bush Moses encountered on Mt. Sinai was an acacia tree. One Hebrew University psychology professor, Benny Shannon, has even suggested that Moses was high on a substance made ...

... just EXACTLY what was going on ) and he looked unusually relaxed. There was a glaring vacancy in the meercat position and I had to keep checking myself to stop my neck taking over the post of meercat craning! Soon enough our check in desk was posted on the board and we headed towards it, only to find a queue of about 100 people already there! Funny, I thought, they must have already known where it would be. As we joined the queue we couldn't help but notice that there were ...
