    Day 3 Chill Chill - Daiquiri

    26 dicembre 2023, Egitto ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C

    Sleeping with Sharon, if you know what I mean, means you get "no" sleep. Like "No" sleep 😴 🐽.........
    Try to get to sleep was the first challenge with Sharon doing her Bruce-Lee impression against a mosquito 🦟. It must of work because it spent the night nibbling on Amy’s leg 🦵🏾. Yep, just the one...😂
    Up, a lite breakfast and then down to a new spot on the beach 🏝️
    Bikini 👙 out and the sun 🌞 shining, the sea 🌊 lapping, a quick snorkel 🤿 with the fish 🐠 what more could you want. (A hard boiled stolen egg 🥚 and a Daiquiri. 🤷
    Of to the bar we trot and the girls introduced me to a little cocktail 🍸. It taste more like a pineapple 🍍 drink 🍹 then an alcoholic drink. Dangerous.......
    4 Daiquiris 🍸 later and is wasn't a trot back to the sun-beds more like a flip-flop 🩴 or flop back.
    Spontaneity - why come to Egypt without seeing the local town. With a taxi 🚕 ordered we pile in and take the twenty minute drive to the town. Last time I came her was 25 years ago diving........
    Boy it's changed.!
    A dust road and a couple of hotels. Now, it's like Blackpool on steroids. We found a traditional Fish 🐟 restaurant, right in the middle of a fish market. The smell was enough to put you of, well Amy has she was gagging 🤢...... lol.
    Sitting down and looked at the menu, I made a promise to myself 6 months ago, always to try something different or ask the waiter what they would recommend.
    Napper grilled, fried prawns 🍤, fried calamari, prawn 🍤 pineapple 🍍 rice 🍚 a huge section of dips and sauces puffed up pitta bread, sooooooo nice.
    A little bit of that and a little bit of this the perfect meal with a complementary mint tea 🍵 at the end. Perfect...!
    Back to the Sky bar at the hotel for a final Daiquiri 🍸 or two.
    Sharon says that's 5 today.....🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣    Leggi altro

    Day 4/5 Chill Chill Chill - Adventure

    28 dicembre 2023, Egitto ⋅ 🌙 22 °C

    Chill Chill Chill - 3 days of laying in the sun ☀️ on the beach 🏝️ is enough for anyone.
    We finished day 3 with a lovely Chinese meal. The clue is in the name Platter. There was enough for four people and that was just the starter. Prawn 🍤 noodles 🍜 for the main and once again a beautiful evening meal.
    Day 5 - another lovely day on the beach 🏝️ and then this evening we went on a Egyptian Bedwyn safari.
    Picked up from the hotel late afternoon and the a 30min mini bus ride out to the desert 🌵. Then the shock of my life. We were offered a trip on a camel 🐪 or a quad bike 🏍️. Back in the day there would of been hundreds of camels 🐪 instead there were at least a thousand quad bikes 🏍️ all with inexperienced drivers.
    Our guide put a head scarf on us each and the "3 Musketeers Taliban" look alike a mounted our quad bikes 🏍️ and the guide Mhammond said push this button to go and this button to stop 🛑 (did you hear that Sharon...🤣)
    Of we set into the mountains. Along with a thousand other riders with a huge dust ploom shooting into the nights sky and the mountains echoing back the thunderous noise.
    We had a cameraman flanking us on the left taking videos and photos of the memorable event, at a cost of course.
    The guide started to slow down and then the cameraman stopped to take our photo has we filed in behind him. Although Sharon had other ideas....!
    It all happened in slow motion, she shot to the left and headed straight to the cameraman. His mouth dropped open his eyes widened knowing his fait Sharon and her quad bike took him out....😂
    His number plate flew off and he picked himself up shouting "push the stop button". "I did said" Sharon. "Yes but you also have your thumb on the go button".....🤣🤣🤣
    We carried on, nobody hurt just the cameraman's pride. Then we stopped at the foot of the mountains. Everyone off the Guide shouted. He then lined us up and got us to shout our names before we waited 4 seconds and the echo came back at us.
    Back on the quad bikes and of to the main event with Sharon at the front leading the way. Not a bad event but recon the animal right in the UK would of had a field day with the monkeys 🙊 snakes 🐍 and Crocodiles 🐊 in the shown. We return back to the hotel dusty shattered and hungry but intact. 👍🏽😊    Leggi altro

    Day 6/7 Chill Chill Chill and Chill

    31 dicembre 2023, Egitto ⋅ ☀️ 23 °C

    The problem with a fly and flop is that you don't have a lot of things to write about has you chill all day and eat.
    Day 6 was another beach 🏝️ day for the girls and I completed 2 presentations I had to write with a near disaster when the coffee ☕️ I was drinking went over my laptop 💻. (Sorry to Samir the house keeper for the mess)
    So tonight's meal was an Italian. Three large Pizza 🍕 and a tiramisu for Sharon and a pilot profiteroles for Amy.....🤪 where do they put it.

    Day 7
    It's time to go home.....no a day at the beach 🏝️ before our flight back in the evening. Thank you Egypt the service from the team of the Grand Rotana the best service I have ever experienced.    Leggi altro
