Travel photos

As promised here are just a few from our trip overseas to Jordan, Israel and Egypt. We took nearly 6000 photos between the two of us and I've finally done a second cull and reduced it down to about 2700!!!! Now to make a start on a Momento book!
Starting off with Petra in Jordan....absolutely amazing !!! Do yourself a favour and visit! Classed as one of the 7 ancient wonders of the world!
Riding "Alia" back through the mountains (ahead is Dave's Mum in the purple!)
Making me into a "Bedowin Girl" Bedowins are a type of Gypsy.


Dave and I floating in the Dead Sea in Israel.
The "Wailing Wall"
Very very busy in Jerusalem for the Orthadox Jews on Easter Sunday!

I had to cover my head and go through a different entrance to the 'menfolk'!


Bet Shean National park.....an old Roman city felled in an earthquake in 700AD. They are still uncovering so much stuff!

The folk we spent most of 17 days with .....


Thought this one deserved a big extra large picture!!!!
 This has a been a dream of mine for a very long time!!!! 
The Sphinx
And to finish it off a camel ride with Dave to end the day!

Awesome trip, not a holiday , a TOUR it was as it was go go go the whole time pretty much.
Let's say that Australia is a beautiful, clean country that has amazing standards, but you don't appreciate it until you go OS ! 

Will be back soon with some more layouts when I get a chance to photograph them. Haven't been home much lately LOL! Night at Caloundra a couple of weeks ago, then spent last weekend at Coolangatta in a very nice apartment on the 19th floor. It was lovely to do not much at all :)

Take care
Love Elise x

Wow, wow, wow Elise! What an amazing adventure you have been on. Your photo's are AMAZING! I'd love to see the Sphinx IRL. That would be fabulous! So many amazing memories there :) :) I felt the biggest smile on my face because I could imagine how much fun it would have been ;)

Thanks for the comment on my 'gardening adventure' LOL. I won't actually be having any grass except a small squarish patch by the back fence and all my paths will be something like crushed granite or dolomite...so I'm not worried about the mowing :D In actual fact I've been poisoning the grass and weeds off! DH laughs as most people are doing all they can to save their drought ravage lawns except me :)

Thanks for stopping by!
