Goodbye to Egypt

I close this travelblog with the quintessential picture of Egypt. Yes, that is a golf course in front of the pyramids. And the greenery does not extend to them, they are surrounded by desert. But it is a wonderful picture. The bus driver took us the wrong way down a one way street to get to the prime lookout spot from which to take this picture.

This summer we are going to take a river cruise from Budapest to Amsterdam. We've done the Budapest to the Black Sea portion so now it is time to cruise the rest. The Danube, the Rhine-Main Canal and then the Rhine. It's been more than 20 years since we've been along the Rhine and Moselle so it will seem like seeing it for the first time.
