Oh Corna, I’m so sorry to hear about Berto – that sounds really serious and worrying. I’m just so glad he’s out and recovering. I will continue to keep you both in my thoughts.x

He had an excess amount of fluid in his left lung … the doctors are still puzzled how it ended up there. After 8 days in hospital, he was discharged on Friday – still a long way to go, but we trust he’s now on the road to recovery. Thanks for your well wishes, it’s much appreciated.

Aw it’s so nice to hear from you again Corna. I’m so sorry to hear about Berto, I hope it was nothing too serious and that he’s recovering well. Sending you hugs and well wishes 🙂

Almost everything you mentioned here, we also experienced on our short visit in Cairo.
“Life is precious and we should make the most of it” … thanks for this valuable lesson in life Hannah 🌻.

I know, I totally agree but actually I didn’t mind too much and it definitely helped me see another perspective – plus it forced my husband to make some decisions which was actually a fun experience to be a part of 🙂 I couldn’t leave her on her own, my conscience wouldn’t let me. I hope she was OK.

They really are everywhere, especially wherever tourists might be. I’m sure all of us have experienced a holiday scam at some point!

As you say, it is important to be mindful and firm in any major city, and things can really happen anywhere. What saddens me the most is the difference in treatment for men and women but I guess we’re used to it in a way, and it does happen everywhere too, maybe not in such an obvious way, but it’s still there! Thank you for the advice!

It’s disappointing that you were essentially ignored once you were with a man, but there’s a silver lining there, I think. It’s not often we are treated like second class citizens and I think it’s good to see what life is like on the other side sometimes. May help build compassion. Speaking of which, how very nice of you to take care of that stranger who was drunk.

You have really put a great deal of consideration here and what a help it will be to anyone traveling there. My heart hurts over the recent bombing there, you just never know what a day will bring.
