What? a 170 pounds Ha! As you well know 50S pounds is $1.20 or less than 70Uk Pennies. Imagine my first reaction when our Mini Bus Taxi driver asked for 10S Pounds per person for our 17 Pax. Whaaat? 170 pounds just to go 3 miles - you have to be joking.

How much?? I wish I'd have found that Falafel shop when I was In Aleppo I had to pay the full amount of 50S it was daylight robbery.
Looking at the news it appears that you didn't start any wars - the famous Tasker diplomacy:-) - so that was we could have hoped for:-)
Orphans Party Thanks
Yes - Orphans Party would be great - but its not teh best for a personal catch up. Perhaps if your available b4 that would be coolest
trip thks david did read all your blogs on the way through,will have to catch up,dosnt sound like egypt has changed in 30 years,catch you all soon,probably orphans xmas?
Not Snubbed - just a delayed entry You must not feel like that Paul. I am considering doing a 1000 word expose/essay on yours and Jill's hospitality. Mentioning your exceptional driving skills and caustic wit, Jill's fantastic cooking and lavish attention to our compfort as well as mentioning how cute Lisa looks in her Netball clothes. However I just dont know where to start. Should I include your email address so that others may contact you for guest services?
By the way.It wasn't 3 lines when I typed it- it was 1 line - the blog software must have reformatted it - LOL.
Thasnks again for a great stay.
Wonderful blog/Welcome Home Hello again Dave...the blog was wonderful - how could it not be with such insightful, and humorous, commentary? The pictures were terrific. Speak with you soon - best with your bride.
Thanks Paul. yes you should have paid attention to your history lessons, and probably your maths, science, english and geography lessons as well. Were there attractive girls in your class that distracted you or some other problem? Sean diplomatically asked me to give the"Reader's Digest" version of Laurence of Arabia while we were sitting outside his (supposedly) house ruin in Wadi Rum. I got a round of applause for that. Of course I could have (did?) made up some stuff and no one would have been the wiser. See you in 2 weeks. 14th November. I have your Single malt :-)
Greetings from NY Hey David...enjoying the blog. We survived the North Atlantic and arrived home in one piece. Keep on truckin' and posting. Ciao, Eileen
Hi travellers Hi, glad to hear all is on schedule, Not much happening here but the weather is getting warmer. Council elections coming up... Craft fair next weekend.
Cheerio,
Pauline
The 75LE included 50LE admission to the temple which obviously did not leave much to distribute to our guide and driver.
The Guide and Driver got a commission on the 50LE each , so they would have done alright.
Richards farm Burlington, is being auctioned on the 19th, November.

on second thoughts, its ok i DONT need to see a picture of you
Sailing! I am rather jealous that you went sailing - and I am jealous that you are enjoying the sunshine while I am shivering in the wind, freezing cold and rain. Much love. See you in Venice.
