Another nail in the coffin for tourism in Egypt.
Reports have hit the BBC news at 10 in UK.Demonstrations,tear gas,deaths.
Wonder how many cancellations there'll be now?
Two years down the line and nothing's getting any better!
For all that everyone says "but,this isn't Luxor"there are thousands who say "that's Egypt"...and we'll give it a miss!
Never mind...at least the "dedicated travellers"will not be bothered by tourists clogging up the historical sights and invading the place with their silly dress sense and anticipation of a little nitelife!
They'll have the whole place to themselves for a good while longer!

The sun still shines everyday

Ah well...that's a blessing Keefy!
Nothing worse than watching discontent and anarchy when it's chuckin it down!
P.s. news here is still full of it,there's no escape!
Maybe it's just a big conspiracy on BBC's part to discourage everyone from visiting!
