Always the way isnt it Skeggy ?
I was very fortunate to go to Egypt a few years ago,
I went to visit the museum in Cairo,it was facinating,the mask was there of course but alas Tut wasnt he was elsewhere,there was a replica of him though and he was so tiny.
But best of all was the little monkey  it looked real !

Oh Skeggy
its the most interesting place I have ever been to.
I only went because my father was there in the war,
and I wanted to see the places he had talked about.
All of the hotels are like palaces and yet the people are paupers,well a lot of them are.
My favourite place was the valley of the kings,it was magnificent !
