Egypt's Sunken Cities

Operas are like buses..... you know the rest of the quotation. Yes, it has so happened that I'll have been to three in less than a fortnight. But there are no more for months for me."Norma" tonight. It's said to be odd but with brilliant stars.

I'm staying in one of my favourite hotels, close to the British Museum, so, as the trains were running very nicely, I had time to go for a long wander, with audio guide, through the special exhibition about the two sunken cities near Alexandria. They were only discovered last century and even more recently brought up from the depths of the sea. Fascinating. Beautiful statues and artefacts. Well worth a visit.
