Boneshakers, some seafood & A Dodgy Persian
Had a really awesome evening with Mo the other night - good weather has just started so after work you get lovely sunsets across Amsterdam.
There's something about cruising around the Dam on a bike thats just different in other places as there just no interference from cars;-)
We ended up going to a lovely seafood restaurant that was very good - I was feeling a bit low so my good friend Mo from London (who lives over here as well) managed to get a 1 night pass (Thanks Suz;-) came by & took me out really cheered me up.......Thanks Mo;-)

Monica in Amsterdam
Last week after all this time I had Monica (my little princess) visit me from Palermo. Usually, I travel to see her so it was really nice to show her my world even if briefly.
Well, the first thing she wanted was for me to hire a bike, oh yes & it had to be Pink! So off we went just by Centraal station MAC bike and it was really easy/cheap so if I have other visitors I now know the routine.
She loved it immediately it was great as Amsterdam has the separate bike paths which makes it safe & fun.
Then we did the Zoo (Artists) - before that I didn't even know it had one - Of course Madam had a set agenda of the animals we had to see - Tigers, Elephants oh yes & the Bear (which she likes most as it's just like Daddy!).
Monica looking very unsure of the Flamingo's!
On the last day we did the Nemo it's a science museum for kids and it was fantastic - we both really enjoyed it....pulling knobs and buttons, doing experiments, etc.
Yeah we had a really cool time!!!
And yeah I had a big, fat, huge, enormous smile on my face;-)
Of course Moni didn't come alone & brought Mummy with her so my most humble thanks to Giules.

Thinking of 2010
I sat under wintery northern skies no sun, the clouds were various colours of grey,
pondering on an unknown world full of different cultures, traditions & beliefs which if I wanted to see it for a while I had to leave behind everything familiar & comforting.
Saw skies so clearly blue gazed, sister moon & amillion brother stars, felt the warmth of the mighty Aten Father sun.
Wonderful enchanting sights and memories that fill me with laughter passed by things old & ancient, of beauty and mystical there was magic and it held something for me.
A faint murmur whispered “The path to personal transformation usually isn’t the simplest one, to truly step along the road of transformation, See everything on that journey that happens to you along the way as a clue & accept all the people that you meet along the journey as a teacher”.
I bow before the majestic splendour that is the Universe, sister moon rises, father sun sets.
Life is full of amillion adventures not yet begun.

Akenhaten - El Amarna
The Driver & Guide for my tour to El Amarna they looked after me for 2 days - very cool people & we had a few good days together. Ahmed had not been to El Amarna before so he was quite excited which for me was really nice as I had someone who was excited as me seeing it for the 1st time.
I had to have an armed escort to go through the desert - quite exciting driving thru cities & villages with everybody thinking I was some big VIP;-)
The Approach to El Amarna
The view from the ferry as you approach Akenhatens city of Amarna which is naturally fortified by cliffs at its rear & river @ the front.
A view from the back of the city on top the cliffs towards the Nile.
Temple of Aten
Temple of the heretic pharoah
The rays of the mighty Aton shine strong for those who are the seekers of light.
I am inspired.
In the hope of elevating my spirit
I humbly bowed before an incredibly powerful source of healing, hope, inspiration and so much more.
& I humbly thank the universe for allowing me this opportunity to embrace & enjoy this fantastic place we occupy for a unique moment in time.
