Egypt/Italy Tour 2003: Diary and photographs page
Diary
This page is the entry page to the account of each day and the photographs.
Some of the file sizes for each day are quite large, so please be patient!
Photographers
The photographs on the Egypt leg were mostly taken by Robert Hyde, while those in Italy were mostly taken by me (Mark Hyde). Both my wife Linda and son Andrew took some of the pictures from time to time.
