So I've been back for a looong time. And the problem with double-blogging is, that once you've shared some thoughts and put some energy into one blog, you really cannot be asked to write the very same thing on the other blog.

And that's preciselly what happened to me: I've put all our experiences and the wonderful trip with the pictures on my Slovenian blog, and feel strange translating it into the English one. For what is it, there are at least some pics there... I promisse, I will keep the English blog running with the Dutch news... ;)

Anyway, the trip was amazing! Everything was much more than we expected - the principle is: the less you expect the bigger the surprise! And it's exactly what happened. We loved Egypt, the culture, the food, people and country. We will definitely go back.

Also a very big BRAVO for the agency: Niletravel. We will definitely use their services again. Highly recommended.

Tomorrow we go home. What is home? Utrecht? Ljubljana? Slovenia is where my parents live. Utrecht is where my life is. Am still undecided. Don't want to decide just yet. I don't have to really...

Well, the new year has begun. I wonder what it will really bring.


There are things I really need to change! It's weird for me to think about New year's resolutions, cause I've never done that. I always saw the passing from one year to another in a very natural and non-complicated way. Yesterday is 2006 and today is 2007. So what.


But this year I feel the change. Is bizarre to explain the feeling. But I have a feeling I have to do things this year, otherwise it will become to late. I will miss things in my life. Things I will later regret.
Perhaps it’s just the fact I’m getting older, heh heh.

Anyway, we’re beginning the 2007 with a splash. We’re off to Egypt tomorrow!! Cairo, the dessert and oasis. I’ve been fascinated by Egyptian art ever since I was a kid. The whole mystery with the building of the pyramids, the whole splendid culture that ceased to exist, the hieroglyphs, which I find a fascinating writing, always aroused a lot of my interest. I was fascinated by Cleopatra and her beauty. Of course to me it was the beauty of Elizabeth Tayor in that epic portrayal of this famous Egyptian Queen. btw we watched the film a few days ago - 4 hours of actual film and another 2 hours of a documentary. Did not know it is the 2nd most expensive film ever made.

We’ll now it’s time to see all that!! It’ll be our first time in Africa. Hope the weather will be nice. And I can bargain. I'm so looking forward! Hurrah!

Another thing: Slovenia joined the Euro countries. Congratulation!


Well guys and gals, I guess I’ll post something when I come back from Africa. Take it easy! Big kiss.
