From Istanbul to Cairo

Tavel with my shadow...
I traveled with my shadow
to far and unknown places,
wandering pass long lost ruins,
straddling through crumpled walls,
the sky is my sleeping bag,
the earth is my camp,
as long as there's luxury buses
with air-conditioning,
and budget hotels
with reasonable prices,
I will always be
a happy camper.....
