Luxor
There are two ways to look at a Study Tour - a holiday (for some) or an adventure. Given the comment to me by e-mail a few days back: 'I always put a jinx on Egypt' the following words 'it will be interesting' might just this time be understated. Thomas Cook, our tour operator, is posting huge losses which are partly because of the January revolutions in Tunisia and Egypt as well as the recession; there are (may be) elections part-way through our stay and we come back (or may come back) the day of the General Strike! I gather too snow is on the way next week so we could find coming home a bit more interesting given its a northern airport! A certain trip to Turin comes to mind.
