 They Also Went To { Egypt, Turkey and Greece}

It was their first and best cruise they ever went on.  They were young and had a lot of fun. It wasn't luxurious they went on a Greek ship and hung out with the crew and the captain. They were taken to the places that tourist didn't go and some fabulous restaurants.  They were spoiled with so much love and attention. Saw some marvellous sites they will never forget.........

On a Camel Near The Pyramids 

They had some great shots when staying at the Hilton hotel standing on the balcony overlooking the Pyramids. Seeing the Sound and Light Show with champagne, it was a spectacular evening. Unfortunately the next day in Jerusalem Michel lost the roll of film so no photos. When they arrived home found out the hotel they where staying at was boomed. The year they travel there was a lot of upheaval and when being taken on the the bus to the Hilton hotel. They had police escort at the front and back of the bus that's how bad it was even back then.

They did buy a papyrus scroll at the museum and had it framed. and bought one for her brother and sister in law. When visiting Tutankhamun's treasures at the museum in Cairo 1985 it must have been a private showing there were only the people from the ship. It was amazing and she remembers there were only ropes doesn't remember the glass covering the artifacts. It would have been wonderful if back then they had a mobile phone they would have got some incredible videos. 

The only picture Kim and Michel have of the museum is a postcard. Michel accidentally lost most of their pictures in Egypt. What a bummer but will always have great memories of their travels. Now looking at videos on the internet didn't realize how things have changed.  When they went you could climb the pyramids and at the museum they had ropes and could get very close to the artifacts.  She actually touched one of the mummies can't remember which one it was. If she new then what she knows it would have been even more spectacular

In the very small cabin and at the bar. What a great time they were having hanging out with the crew and met some very nice people on the ship.  Back then you never saw young people cruising and they were told  they were very smart to do it while they were young.

Luau: Guess who they get up on stage? Kim did have a couple of drinks other wise she wouldn't
have felt comfortable dancing in front of all those people. It was a fun night with friends they
came later to join them on their
vacation.  Great times visiting many wonderful sights. The year
they were in Hawaii the tv series Magnum PI was being filmed but didn't see Tom Selleck
