ScottyBro & Nash at Abu Simbel

Man! it was tough leaving Luxor with all it's Magic, but ScottyBro & Nash dragged asses into the Limo and hit the road , Shit!....why do we live in schedules Nash was asking, Scotty told him if they didn't get their "Assesingear" that they would miss the Opening games of the World Cup, SO! this was a photo and video at Abu Simbel one of the many building's that the Great Ramses left 4 tourism, that and his bloodline, when they were building the Aswan high dam in the Sixty's they had 2 relocate the whole building from the flood zone, it is without a doubt one of the greatest engineering wonders of our time, the building itself is a wonder, inside and out, but 2 think that they Moved this whole Site!.................and talking about Moving Scotty gave Nash the Big hook, time 2 hit the road.


PS. Time is their enemy, hopefully they will B able 2 get the mad dash 2 Cape Town.....in friggin Time!

ScottyBro & Nash at Luxor Egypt

Being Scottish with a built in fascination 4 other Cultures, the journey 2 Luxor wassa must, this is one of the original Civilization's that got the Ball rolling, and not on a fitba field if ye get my drift, this is a shot of ScottyBro setting Nash up 4 the perfect frame,....Obelisk, statue, wall's, and the friggin palm tree's, and, and some sky, "PERFECTO" it looks like Nash is praying 2 the sun God, the game plan is 2 take one of the "Tours" and soak up the history, and another benefit is that U Chill with people from all over the World, and with the World Cup coming up we can get
some more FAQ's?, the Visitor's who's team is competing at the "BigSHOW" R getting very excited, ScottyBro and Nash bumped into some Americans this morning, and they were ALL GEARED!....Man! they come with a built in Passion, much like we Scot's Nash was saying, they appreciated the comparison, but were very grateful that their team was on a freakin different planet, @#$%! They asked our 2 hero's who they thought was going 2 win World CUP,........How about USA, an African team,Brasil, Italy,Argentina,
WHO? Who? Who",...2 Scotty and Nash is wassa no brainer, the team that was going 2 win the thing was.......

Somethings never change, our true blue "TartanARMY" misfits, somehow got caught Again!....at there hotel they befriended the front desk clerk Said Sudat, he was a soccer nut going through the pains of his team not getting 2 the World Cup, just like our 2 hero's ugh!... he enticed ScottyBro and Nash 2 an evening with his mates in Coptic Cairo (Old Cairo) and some tourist spot's in town, Scotty & Nash were eager 2 learn about their culture, tell them about our's, and just maybe find out Why Scotland &
Egypt didn't get 2 the "BigSHOW"....SHOOT! the pain grow's with every day that get's closer 2 the Show!, Anyhoooooooo! the evening was a blast, Coptic Cairo is a must see 4 the visitor's 2 this Amazing land, it has a documented history that is the oldest, so they have a tale 2 tell that blow's yer mind Bro! Nowhere! on earth can U duplicate it AH! maybe Sin city Vegas, but in the real world there's only one Egypt, and that U can bet on!....ugh! speaking about Betting, back at the hotel Said and his mates joined a group of tourists playing some poker, Well! let me tellya the dynamic duo could not hold back, they had 2 jump in and join the party, friggin ell Scot's love 2 WIN!...then save their money, or was it the other way round, Nash was heard saying that Who gives a @#$%! Let's go 4 it Bro!........................................Well let me tellya after a couple of hour's our 2 hero's were sleaking out the door , with their pocket's full of memory's, Scotty told NASH, after the fact, that we Scot's R far 2 expressive 2 play this game, Why! didn't he express that sentiment B/4 They played the friggin game was Nashes retort, ugh? not Again Bro!!!!!!.

ScottyBro at the Pyramids


Nash and Scotty on there way down from Jerusalem had a brief stopover in Gaza, MAN! it's amazing how small and how precious the land's are here, compared 2 the next part of the "Tour",.......the ride down the East African Continent, Yeeeees! all the way 2 Cape Town, 4 the "World Cup" YO!!!!!!!! after a day in Alexandria, the Buddies settled in Cairo 4 two FRIGGIN day's, YEH! they have the "BigSHOW" in mind Bro! BUT! agony of the tour,
is that this freakin world is one helluva Jewel, and that schedules kill, ScottyBro had just finished reading the story of Eben Battutah a fourteenth Century muslim from Tangiers, Who! One day took off,......and didn't return home 4,....... 29 YEARS!, at the time this was one of the greatest journey's by a human being, (Maybe it still is) his journey was 75000 MILES!!!!!!!! it encompassed the whole known world as it was in those day's, Remember this was B/4 Columbus!, MAN! wouldn't it B great 2 have that feedom Bro!, Nash was saying 2 Scotty, thank god 4 freakin Dreams, just east of Cairo, it can B seen from the balcony of there Hotel U can see one of theee "Wonders" of the ancient world, Some Say!...the greatest, certainly the oldest, and,and
the first iconic Architectural image EVER!!!!, This day was spent visiting the "Pyramids" and the Great Sphinx, as a boy Scotty had seen the images of tourists on Camel's at the great site, and unlike Napoleon, he just wanted 2 trip out on the Giza Plateau, on the Ship of the Desert, the first MEGA construction site in the world,
has a way of putting U in your place Bro! EVERYTHING seems so inconsequential after this, Nash and Scotty kept saying, How the friggin Hell did they do it! SHOOT! our 2 hero's said it was better 2 leave it with the god's,,or at least Expert's in the field, WHATEVER! the 2 Scottish "TartanARMY" travellers were going 2 honor one of the first dynamic civilizations, by doing a duete of "Flower of Scotland" at the Great Sphinx, and the Great Pyramid of Cheopp's, most of the tourist's stood in amazement at the wonderment of the site, the incredible structures!...and the rendition of "Flower of Scotland" as an accompinement, the dynamic duo have another day full of Question''s, ScottyBro feel's that one of the languages of Egypt is FAQ's? one never get's away from it, the old "Who?What?Where?Why?and When? was born on the shores of the great Nile, many thousand's of years ago, it's amazing how the "ScottyTOPS" that ScottyBro and Nash are wearing are the magnate 4 the kids, that and Scotty's "Carrot Top" yuk,yuk, But! in whole up till now he and Nash have had a great response from the different country's that they have visited, just maybe because we Scot's have come as travellers in history, and not as conquering and pillaging fiend's, and I might add they R very eager 2 help in any way, St.Andrews best friend must have been St. Christopher me thinks, said Nash.


PS the 2 "tartanArmy" travellers R gassed out, there heading back 2 there Hotel 4 some nourishment, OH!
by the way, ScottyBro felt like Battutah! 4 one day at least yuk,yuk, he was heard in the maelsrom of
kinetic tourism uttering the same words, Over, and Over, and Over AGAIN!....Whatta Freakin RIDE Bro!.
