Arrived in the
When we arrived at the hotel we were upgraded to some super premium mega deluxe suites, we didn’t realise the reason for this until the next day when we realised that hotel was practically empty. My room was upgraded from a single room to a huge room with 2 double beds, a massive bathroom and a balcony looking out over a pool that spans around a hundred meters and beyond that the
Spent the day at the private beach that’s owned by the hotel, snorkelling and sunbathing. It’s hard to believe that it’s their winter now, this is their coldest time of the year and it’s around 25°C! Maybe its just such a shock for me because I haven’t really seen the sun properly in 2 years in
The snorkelling here is unreal. From the coral reef meters from our room, on my first dive I saw a turtle and even a shark! It happened to be a baby white tipped reef shark but still, A SHARK!
Later on we hit the town for dinner but found it hard to make it to a restaurant with all the locals trying to swindle tourists out of money. They would open by asking you where you are from and next thing you knew you were in their shop and they were offering you assorted jars of what looked like urine. We eventually ended up in an authentic Egyptian restaurant and after deciphering the coded menus we were up to our eyes in Tahini and sipping on Sakara Gold which is probably the Dutch Gold of Egypt but you don’t have to be mortally drunk to like.
The night ended after we bartered our way back to our empty hotel and as I sit here drinking duty-free Morgan’s and coke I wish you all a very Happy Christmas!
BTW the service is so crazy over here; the rooms are cleaned twice a day. When I came back earlier I found my toothbrush, toothpaste and razor all lined up end-to-end I found this very funny.
