Первая поездка

Первая поездка за границу у меня была очень банальная — в Египет. Но вместе с тем это была сбыча мечт.

В детстве у меня было полно книжек о Египте, в библиотеке я тоже их выкапывала, обожала «Уарду» Георга Эберса (там еще и асисяй) и «Клеопатру» Хаггарда.

И, конечно, мы с подругой поехали смотреть пирамиды и археологический музей. От какого-то количества людей я слышала отзывы про разочарование «грудой камней», но я-то все знала! И о сложности постройки, об ориентации в пространстве и пропорциях, о внутренних камерах и загадочных вентиляционных шахтах. Но реальность превзошла все ожидания. Подумать только, чтобы обойти большую пирамиду, нужно пройти около километра!

На входе (пичаль) нужно было сдать фотоаппарат (смартфонов еще не было). А внутри был ужас: сначала идти согнувшись по прорубленному арабами проходу, а дальше карабкаться в большую галерею. Вишенка на торте: в пирамиде не было ни одной живой души. Из нашего автобуса никто не пошел.

В большой галерее меня заштырило окончательно: каким-то образом там достигается оптическая иллюзия, делающая верх и низ неразличимыми. В общем, села я на пол и постаралась не блевануть. А подруга пошла в  камеру царя, где не было света. Через пару минут, бледная лицом, она примчалась обратно — внутри кто-то бухтел. В ужасе мы ломанулись к выходу, встретив наконец двух туристов. На выходе выяснилось, что бормотали японцы. Что они там в темноте делали — хз.

Мы съездили в Луксор, покатались по Нилу, позырили храм Хатшепсут (ну точно архитектор мавзолея Ататюрка в Анкаре его видел) и посетили долину Царей, где вспотела уже даже я. Мы тоннами скупали дурацкие сувениры и папирусы, они все еще живы, кстати, только Анубису Зязя отъела ухо.

Но не меньше всех камней меня вштырил сам отдых в отеле. И пофиг, что еда там (кроме морковного сока) была довольно унылая. Но на фоне Крыма и Закарптатья это было невероятно круто.

К сожалению, я не ныряю, так что рыбки прошли мимо меня.

В Египет мне больше не хочется. Есть еще много мест, которые я бы посмотрела, но не уверена, что смогу к ним попасть. Правда, в семье растет поклонник мумий и развалок, так что повторного Египта, наверное, не избежать.

А куда была ваша первая поездка?

  2. You really make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this matter to
    be really something that I think I would never understand.
    It seems too complex and very broad for me. I am looking forward for your next post, I will try to get the hang of it!

    Your favourite justification seemed to be at the net
    the simplest factor to be mindful of. I say to you, I certainly
    get irked even as other folks consider concerns that they plainly do not
    understand about. You managed to hit the nail upon the top as well as defined out
    the whole thing with no need side effect , other people could take a signal.
    Will probably be again to get more. Thanks

  6. Hi there! I just wanted to ask if you ever have any problems with hackers?
    My last blog (wordpress) was hacked and I ended up losing many months of hard work due to no backup.
    Do you have any methods to prevent hackers?

  7. Hi there! This is kind of off topic but I need some guidance from an established blog.
    Is it difficult to set up your own blog? I’m not very techincal but I can figure things
    out pretty fast. I’m thinking about making
    my own but I’m not sure where to start. Do you have any ideas or suggestions?

    Many thanks

    its ok to use a few of your ideas!!

    this? IE nonetheless is the market chief and a huge part
    of other people will miss your wonderful writing due to this problem.

  10. Hello, i read your blog occasionally and i
    own a similar one and i was just wondering if you get a lot of spam comments?
    If so how do you prevent it, any plugin or anything you can suggest?
    I get so much lately it’s driving me insane so any support is very much appreciated.

  11. Nice blog! Is your theme custom made or did you download it from somewhere?
    A theme like yours with a few simple tweeks would really make my blog
    jump out. Please let me know where you got
    your theme. Cheers

  12. Hmm it seems like your site ate my first comment
    (it was extremely long) so I guess I’ll just sum it up what I submitted and say, I’m thoroughly enjoying your blog.

    I too am an aspiring blog writer but I’m still new to everything.

    Do you have any suggestions for beginner blog writers?

    I’d certainly appreciate it.

  13. Today, I went to the beach front with my children. I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She put the shell to her ear and screamed.
    There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear.
    She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is completely off topic but I had
    to tell someone!

  14. Have you ever considered creating an e-book or guest authoring on other blogs?
    I have a blog centered on the same information you discuss
    and would really like to have you share some stories/information.
    I know my readers would enjoy your work. If you’re even remotely interested, feel free to send me an e
    mail.

  15. First of all I would like to say superb blog! I had a quick question which I’d
    like to ask if you do not mind. I was interested to find out how you center yourself and clear your mind prior to writing.

    I’ve had difficulty clearing my mind in getting my thoughts out there.
    I truly do take pleasure in writing however it just seems like the first 10 to 15
    minutes tend to be lost just trying to figure out how to begin. Any suggestions or
    hints? Thanks!

  16. Hi there! This is kind of off topic but I need some advice from an established
    blog. Is it tough to set up your own blog? I’m not very
    techincal but I can figure things out pretty quick. I’m thinking about
    making my own but I’m not sure where to start.
    Do you have any points or suggestions? Cheers

  17. Its like you learn my mind! You seem to know so much approximately this, like you wrote the e book
    in it or something. I feel that you simply can do
    with some % to power the message home a little bit, but instead of that, that is wonderful blog.
    A great read. I’ll definitely be back.

  18. Wonderful blog you have here but I was wanting to know if
    you knew of any community forums that cover the
    same topics talked about here? I’d really like to be a part
    of community where I can get advice from other knowledgeable people that share the same interest.

    If you have any suggestions, please let me know. Appreciate it!

  19. Howdy! I could have sworn I’ve been to this site before but after checking through some of the post
    I realized it’s new to me. Nonetheless, I’m definitely glad I found it and I’ll be bookmarking and checking back frequently!

  20. You actually make it appear so easy with your presentation but I in finding this matter to be really something that I think I might by no means
    understand. It seems too complex and very huge for me.
    I’m taking a look forward to your next submit, I’ll try
    to get the cling of it!

  21. I know this if off topic but I’m looking into starting
    my own weblog and was wondering what all is required to get setup?
    I’m assuming having a blog like yours would cost a pretty penny?

    I’m not very web savvy so I’m not 100% positive. Any
    recommendations or advice would be greatly appreciated.
    Appreciate it
