		<description><![CDATA[I had not been to Cape Town for a few years and have been absolutely hooked after a recent short visit. The main difference for me from the last time was the way that the city centre has been brought back to life and revitalised. The streets have been smartened up and much of the fine architecture revealed in all its glory, the quality of shops and restaurants has improved immeasurably, the excellent museums and monuments are all easily accessible and the streets are welcoming and safe. The colourful Bo-Kaap district under the foot of Signal Hill (home to the mid-day gun) is easy to wander through with its multi-coloured facades and antique shops and the District Six Museum is a must-see portraying as it does the gradual destruction of this multicultural neighbourhood over the 70’s and 80’s.  ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[to Egypt was memorable and inspiring in many ways. Spending time with my colleagues, suppliers and ground agents was precious. Our visit to Cairo has left me feeling proud as I was there to witness a piece of history in the making. We arrived on the day the elections were held and I could not believe how peaceful this town was. When we passed Tahir Square we saw a crowd of protestors, flags, and a few posters but no violence]]></description>

Bales Worldwide are looking after the travel arrangements of the UK Scout Association which number nearly 4,000 Scouts and helpers.
