Introducing MyHat in Egypt, Through The Eyes of a God, a book on Amazon by Alun Buffry
My second book about Ancient Egypt "Myhat in Egypt, Through the Eyes of a God", is available on Amazon as a paperback and on Kindle and also as a free mp3 for those that cannot or don't want to read. This one is the true account of Ed and Ana's visits to Egypt as tourists in 1989, 1990 and later. They went to Cairo, saw and entered the pyramids of Khufu and Kharfe, Saqqara and other sites. In Luxor they saw the great temples of Karnak and Luxor, that of Hatshepsut on the West bank, The Valley of the Kings and much more, before exploring a hidden tomb and finding themselves 4000 years in the past, where they met people who spoke English and the boy Ameny who was about to become King. As they travelled up the Nile with Ameny they realised that they were not the first people to visit from the future. They solved the mystery of a missing boy and witnessed the murder of their travelling companion, Professor Bertie, lucky to escape with their own lives. The story is told by the strange "MyHat". I hope that you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing i!.

As the Mind flies So the Bird walks to the mountain, OR Zen and the Art of Being Lazy
As the Mind flies So the Bird walks to the mountain, OR Zen and the Art of Being Lazy
(a postcard from Pokhara, 1985)
by Alun Buffry
Today, outside, the weather is hazy.
Stayed in all day, feeling quite lazy.
Where to go now, we often talk,
Then decide it's too far to walk.
Two hours there and two hours back,
"Let's stay here, and have a snack".
Just fifteen minutes to Cafe Babar.
And we know that there, food's better by far,
but here we eat, for our stomachs sake,
whatever's available as it's no effort to make.
"Well", I say, "I guess that's what
A holiday's for on a day that's hot."
"We're free, we don't have to do anything.
We can fly like a bird with a broken wing."
"How can that be, such a bird can't fly?"
"We can't do much either and here is why-
'Cos - cor it's hot outside today,
And wherever we go we have to pay",
Or "My leg's aching, stiff and weak,
And there's nothing in the bazaar we seek."
"Stomach queasy, or head aching?
Let's be another chillum a-making."
Then, "Let's go in a boat!"
"No, don't want to row!"
Or, "Let's climb that mountain, look at the snow!"
Oh, if only we could get up there and back,
Without having to walk on that mountain track.
If you close your eyes and lay on your bed,
You can go anywhere inside your head.
If you know how to master the Traveller's Trick,
You'll be there in an instant and come back so quick.
