Not another Salvage Door


We have just bought 24 antiqe doors that are aprox 100 years old and and weigh about 200 kg each we have also been to so many salvage yards, and do you know what it is like trapsing around Egypt in the hot sun? Well its actually pretty cool because you get to see so much amazing architecture and the doors are just absolutely wonderful! let me give you an idea of how they look. This lovely brown door is my favorite one.It was one of the most expensive ones.It's got a lovely brown knocker with a amazing arch at the top. The Bad thing about trapsing around Egypt in the Hot sun is that it is BOILING! and at salvage yards there is not realy to many seats So you have to walk around with your parents and decide on doors. We have bought 24 doors and 30 knockers I'll show you what the knockers look like. Anyway the next bit we have got to do is sell them.
Have a look at them all here

My trip to Cairo


Yesterday we got on a train to Cairo and we had booked 1st class but it didn't look much like luxury to me (since I live in Australia)it looked abit like 2nd class.I was expecting a nice big bed with a chanderlier above it but all it is, is a chair with chattering people all aroud you.The good thing is that they were pretty big chairs atleast okaly big.And guess what, we had to spend 8 hours on this not very posh train. Well it wasent that bad because I fell asleep and didn't wake up for hours until sombody punched me in the nose, and that sombody was my older sister Olympia.I woke up in a big fuss until Olympia said we were in Cairo Woohoo we could finally by free!

My time in Luxor -Egypt




I have been in Luxor for about 5 weeks now and had a wonderful time.The only thing bad about it is the temprature. It is Boiling! but once you get used to it its Ok but still hot. Luxor is seperated in to 2 banks one called the east bank and one called the west bank. They are seperated by the Nile.The east and the west banks are completely different.The east bank is more like a buisness place were you can get all your local groceries and that stuff,and the west bank is the quiet one were there is not many rules and its more like a desert than a city.The east bank also has the amazing luxor and Karnak temple that are old temples that were built thousands and thousands of yars ago but the good thing is that the west bank has the valleys of the kings and queens and Hatsepsuts temple. We have just left Luxor and are now on the train to Cairo.

Belly Dancing




How To belly Dance



First,move your butt from side to side while shaking your boobs this way and that and then put your hands in the air and start twisting your fingers in all kinds of ways and in no time at all you will be moving like a pop star.O'h Sorry I was ment to be writing about what I did not how to belly dance.Well it all started when we went to a small tent like thing that was called the bedowen tent.We went in and had 4 glasess of water.Afew seconds later The guy who owned the bedowen tent got up and swung the belly dancing skirts around us and I went to put the brar on.It looked good.P.S It didnt realy fit so I took it off.The next second he put a sword in my hands and said Dance! I put it in my mouth and started to move my butt and moving my shoulders (because I didn't have boobs)and started to twist my fingers like a pop star.After a while of dancing I took off my skirt and sat down and afew minutes Olympia had done the same thing.Then we had to go.dam I wish i hadent of taken off the skirt.

A Dive in the red sea




Today I went Diving and it was so cool! I'll tell you what it was like.First we got in our gear and waked off to the pool to see if we could breath well under water.I went really well exept for the fact that sometimes I didn't give back the signal that I was good because I was looking at the floor of the boring pool.Next we started heading to the sea.(by the way we were in Egypt so its the red sea)and I went in first. When we got in all I could realy see was coral and fish but as we got deeper I could see the most amazing things e.g Starfish, crabs, fish, anenamy and many more things.But the problem was that I didn't have enough weights to pull me down so I couldent realy go down and see many things.When I got out Olympia (my sister) got in,and she did a realy good dive.then I went in again and saw pretty much the same as last time just I could go down and see them.Then we started to get out.Nooo That was the End!
