For our never ending search for new rations, 75% oft he Housil familiy were flying to northern Africa last week.

Image

On board of the plane, we were in great hope. We discovered something that seems like „rationed food“

Image

Image

Image


But it was just civilian airline crap…

So we were passing the Alp Mountains:

Image

Over the Mediterranean Sea:

Image

Entering northern Africas Egypt, crossing river Nile:

Image

Arriving at Hurghada Int. Airport (Red Sea)

Image

Driving for hours thrue the desert:

Image

Image

Image

Using local public transportaion system…

Image

Arriving our place:

Image

Image


To start our search for international rations and found some places to check carefully...

Image

Image

Image

Image


After all this man made disappointments of not-canned-food

Image

with so spoofing names like:

Image

Image

Image



we deceided to walk to a diffrent place...

Image

to got some hope in finding:

Image

Image

until I got bleeding feet

Image

to finish our mission!


We changed our tactics, oberserving from a save position instead of hunting...

Image

Image

But after several days of intensiv waiting, no rations to see.

Our last hope was an airdrop by

Image

but after one week, we took a last

Image

before we

Image

back home.


The only stuff I got was a sunburn and ... but nothing you want to be displayed here in pictures for sure!!

:D

Sorry to hear you didn't find any true Egyptian rations but it looks like you found plenty of other interesting things to eat. How was the "bird tongue"?

Great pics - thanks for posting!

You lucky guy!
Bird tongue is a tiny noodle that looks like rice, isn't it?

I guess it`s we had to leave home at 2:00am to get our flight at 6:00am.
We were more tired than hungry...
