Part 1
I will try it in two parts. It seems to choke on one big file!
Well, It was not exactly a mongering trip, although I did indulge in everywhere except Zurich. Zurich was the one place that it P4P was readily available, but at what amounts to $150.00 for 20 minutes of automated sex, I opted out. Sorry DCool1, I know YOU were motivated to go
There are a lot of pics in this report, but NONE of them are girls unfortunately. I have a few street hotties, but that is about all. I each of the P4P situations, cameras were strictly forbidden. Also, I noticed something interesting. There were NO locals in the P4P scene in any of the 3 countries I indulged in. This may have been only me, but in each country (Greece, Egypt and Turkey), the girls were all from the Baltic countries, Brazil or other nearby countries. The prices ranged from $50 for an hour in the Sheraton in Cairo, to about $100 in the Red Light District in Athens. Istanbul ran about $80.00, and I noted that the Turkish men did not like foreigners in the Red Light area....
Anyway there were 4 days in Athens (sessioned 3 times), 8 days in Egypt, but only 4 in Cairo (sessioned 2 times) and 5 days in Istanbul (sessioned 3 times). 2 German, 1 Romanian, 2 Brazilian, 1 Latvian, 1 Bulgarian and oddly enough, 1 Italian (in Greece).
Had a great time, although the standard of GFE was very low compared to what I have found in Brazil and Thailand....
Some pics!
GREECE!
The Olympiad with the Acpropolis in the background
The Temple of Posidon and views of the Agean Sea from it.
The Corinth Canal. Hand dug to connect the Ionian and Agean Seas...
The great city of Mycenea, Home and burial place of Agamemnon..
The famed Theatre of Epidaurus. We sat in the top row, and the guide tore a piece of paper while standing in the middle bottom, and we could hear it quite clearly. It was amazing!
This was a new one...This ship builder shrink wraps his new ships for delivery!
EGYPT!
The Sphinx with the Great Cheops Pyramid in the background. We saw a great Sound and Light show here one night!
A sunset pic from the cruise boat.
An interior shot of the Cruise boat.
It was quite interesting getting the boats through the locks. There are two sets of locks and two bridges to pass on this trip. I think all the boats are built exactly the same dimensions so as to clear the bridges and locks.
The Temple of Kom Ombo. This pic was taken by my buddy who's camera is better in the dark than mine. This was a Temple to the God Horus.
This Image of Kom Ombo, was taken with my Camcorder set on "still" picture mode. I did not intend it to have this eerie effect, but it is way cool.
A view back at the boats from Kom Ombo (my pic).
The Valley of the Kings!
Local craftsmen were making and selling Basalt statues at very cheap prices.
The Temple of Hatshepsut in Thebes...
Some of the origional paint is still left on the engravings after 3,500 years. It was impressive since this area of the Temple is open to the air, and most of the sheltered areas I saw in Egypt had no origional paint left!
The massive columns at the Temple of Karnak in Luxor.
The Temple of Luxor at sunset. This Temple is separated from the Temple of Karnak by the Avenue of the Sphinxes.
Onto part 2

Nice pics! I'll probably get flamed for this but it's nice to do things besides mongering when abroad. The mongering part is a given.

I agree. Plus with photos you have stuff to talk about with your family/friends... to show what you did there. Great pics.

Thanks guys. I agree tha the mongering element is a given. Anytime I spend that many hours on a plane, I am planning on getting laid! I just enjoy having cool stuff to do while I am not dicking a chick
I have found that pics are a no no throughout Europe unless you get a freelancer. I comes down to posting a report with the pics you DO have, or not posting a trip report at all. Even the small non-mongering info that I pass on makes it worth a read I hope.

Yes, Val, it's a treat to see something else besides beautiful women posted--if the photos are as good as yours are.
Too bad about the no-photo policies, though, I like your taste and would have liked to share the memories.
