So what, just 1st May on the beach?

The day has finally arrived – rested after the rigors of travel, free from any responsibilities or need for action – we're on the beach (hidden in deep shade) and doing nothing… A rather rare occurrence in our lives, so we're not sure whether to be happy or not.

High and low tides

As we already described, Nosy Be is a small island, yet in various parts of the island, ocean tides play a significant role in choosing a vacation destination.

The purpose of the tour was to take us around Cairo to places not all tour operators get to… Muhammad proved...

A bit of Egyptian history

No, we won't bore you with the history of Egypt, which is fascinating in itself, dating back over 5,000 years. We wouldn't manage, anuway... Anyone can use Wikipedia, and AI, to delve into prehistory that also concerns us. We'll limit ourselves to the places we visit and see. Exploring Cairo and...
