The perfect picture that is pyramids of Giza

Ever since I was a little girl I have been fascinated with the tales of ancient Egypt. The beautiful women with golden glows and black silk like hair. There utter devotion to the earth and the creatures within it and how they made them their gods.


Many books I have read and many films that I have seen, but none satisfy my need to travel to amazing place.    When I speak to people about my love of Egypt one thing often springs to mind. The Pyramids of Giza.


Picturesque Pyramids 


The Egyptians were renowned for their creative and clever building techniques and were light years ahead of other cultures and countries. The Pyramids of Giza, one of the seven wonders of the world, were built to house the Egyptian kings and queens. 


The Great Pyramid of Giza is said to be thousands of centuries old, standing at 146.5 metres or 480.6 ft, it houses the honourable king Khufu and the three smaller pyramids are said to be the resting place for Kind Khufu's wives. 

So here is a montage of my favourite images of the picturesque pyramids of Giza.

The weird & wonderful world of Bangkok

Bangkok... a place of mystery, magic and marvellous wonders that a person can only experience first hand.

I believe that in Bangkok every person has their own experience of this amazing place. From ancient golden temples to magical lady boys, I am going to tell you my story of Bangkok.

My Story of Bangkok
Bangkok was the destination of mine and the bear's giant travels. We left London on the luxurious Emirates airlines and of course forgot our tickets as we got into the car. However after 4 bottles of (mini) red wine, 3 time zones, two planes and a lot of huffing and puffing we finally arrived in the humid heat of Bangkok.

(Anyone who has been/stayed within South East Asia can appreciate how humid these countries are and how much of a life saver air conditioning is!)
