The Pyramids
After days and nights of travel, one finally gets to the Nile river and sees the Pyramids of Giza. Now, it seems like a camel saddle but normally one travels these days and nights in an airliner with cramped space and airline food - oh well, perhaps I did not take the camel across the desert to get here but it is well worth the effort.
Ponte Vecchio
The Ponte Vecchio dates back to 1354 and was the home of the butchers of Florence, they cut and chopped and the leftovers simply went into the River Arno. In the 1500's Cosimo the first kicked them off because of the smell and put the jewelers in.
They remain today. Even the Nazis tried to destroy this bridge but she stands today as one of the top jewelry markets in the world.
