Aswan and Abu Simbel

Locations
here, too, some more photos of this southernmost area in Egypt, with its exciting temples and its feluccas on the Nile. Scanned slides, and some have been discoloured somewhat before they got scanned. Back to Egypt.

Luxor

Locations
a few more pictures of some of the temples around Luxor, mostly the Valley of the Kings. Once more, these are scanned slides, which occasionally have been discolored somewhat (and some are mirror-image, I know!). Back to Egypt.

47. Machu Picchu

Blog entries
We have mixed feelings about Peru's pre-eminent tourist attraction, Machu Picchu, which is a fabulous Inca complex, of course, but shamelessly over-exploited.

Mandalay

Locations
The old Myanmar capital is, as so many other places here, quite run down, but is surrounded by fascinating ‘deserted cities’, full of temples and pagodas, also in various states of disrepair.

Yangon

Locations
Except for the spectacular Shwedagon Paya - temple, pagoda, stupa -, Yangon is a pretty run-down city.

Dazu

Articles
Dazu is één van de Chinese steden met Boeddhistische grotten, prachtig beschildert; er komen, met de lokale bus, heeft enig voeten in de aarde!
