Hamish also enjoyed his stay at the Winter Palace Pavilion

We had a small extra passenger with us this year - Hamish the Heilan' Coo (translation for the non-Scottish - Highland Cow) and he too enjoyed his stay at the Winter Palace Pavilion

Hamish quickly secured a little bit of Egypt to be known as 'Little Scotland' for two weeks!!

A very brave Hamish perched on the balcony

Hamish had to sit down after perching on the balcony!!

Luxor Street Scenes

I have included some street scene photos here, but there is a whole album full of them at  http://community.webshots.com/user/marlscat

There are sometimes questions about what type of shoes to wear in Luxor and, while high heels and dressy shoes are OK in and around the hotels, you'll see from these photos that in many streets of Luxor, high heels are just not practical at all.  There are many broken pavements and very high kerbs, some of which can be seen in these photos.
