Day 4/5 Chill Chill Chill - Adventure
December 28, 2023 in Egypt β π 22 Β°C
Chill Chill Chill - 3 days of laying in the sun βοΈ on the beach ποΈ 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 π€ noodles π for the main and once again a beautiful evening meal.
Day 5 - another lovely day on the beach ποΈ 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 π΅. Then the shock of my life. We were offered a trip on a camel πͺ or a quad bike ποΈ. Back in the day there would of been hundreds of camels πͺ instead there were at least a thousand quad bikes ποΈ 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 ποΈ and the guide Mhammond said push this button to go and this button to stop π (did you hear that Sharon...π€£)
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....π
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".....π€£π€£π€£
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 π snakes π and Crocodiles π in the shown. We return back to the hotel dusty shattered and hungry but intact. ππ½πRead more
