FIRE BOMBS AND A DAYLIGHT SHOOTING IN ASWAN – PART 1

  HELLO + WELCOME as always. In this post we make it to the land of the pharaohs. Egypt! It’s Gareth writing today. Egypt had never been on my list of ‘must travel’ countries.  Egypt didn’t excite me. Sure it has the pyramids, the Valley of the Kings and lots of other historic attractions but […]

YOU, YOU, YOU!
