Blue and White




One might think an island where most buildings are of the same color would be boring, but Santorini turns white walls with blue roofing into a picture of a fantasy island.

Santorini




We got off the ship, got aboard a bus, and headed up,up,up to the heights of Santorini. A picturesque island with plenty of sights to see. We took the trip down more slowly in order to actually see some of those sights.

Egyptian Sunset




Our bus trip back to Port Said was nearly four hours; fortunately, I was on the west side of the bus and busied myself with the setting sun. Shortly we would be back aboard ship and on the way to Santorini, the most notable Greek Isle.

Leaving Cairo




Waving goodbye are two youngsters who had been busily selling postcards to folks getting back on the tour buses. Being cute and smiley is definitely a plus in that line of work.

Our three-hour-plus ride back to the ship felt even longer than it was after a long hot day, so I busied myself collecting images of the only Egyptian sunset I am likely to ever see.

Sphinx




After all these centuries, the Sphinx stands on the desert looking into the future.
