2012 English Channel Swim

7 - 14 September 2012



After having cycled through Africa, completed 5 Ironman Triathlons, run the Comrades Ultra Marathon, Climbed Kili ... I have decided to take on a slightly tougher option ...



... 34km of cold, open water swimming ... leaving the coast of the eternal "wanna-be" soccer nation, over to the "frogs" on the other side ...

Around Cairo



















Some pictures from Cairo ... trying to put several in this one entry ... not sure how it will work.


Three pictures of the pyramid/s at Giza ... far away, closer and stone work - real close.


The market (Khan el Khalili) is real good fun to shop for artifacts, souvenirs and lots of junk. Real good fun to haggle!


The hieroglyphics are from one of the Tombs next to the Giza Pyramids.


The Sphinx is much smaller than I expected.
