I AM IN EGYPT AT THE RED SEA

After four hours flight but spending 3 h at the airport for check ins and terrorist checking waiting for assistance for my handicapped friend we finally arrived safely in Hourghada.

Immediately once outside we had at least 10 Taxi drives surrounding us and of course everybody had the best prices. It is amazing what phantasy they can develop to get the trip ! It varies from showing pictures of their babies (on a mobile of course) or prentending that they are christians (as if that would matter to me) Finally we took one who drove us "safely" to our hotel. My friends not used to all this show were more than surprised ! And safely means that you better close your eyes and make your last wishes because they don t respect any traffic sign or speed limit !

The hotel is very big and very large and has only two floors. As all hotels have been built in the last 10 years along the sea but in the desert everything is very new and very luxurious.

I will write a little more tomorrow it is quite hard to write because it is an arabic keyboard ! The beach and swimming pool is wonderful and the temperature too, 32 !!

    ROFL! I'm not at all confused by the keyboard! But I LOVE that the hotel is both very BIG and very LARGE!!! (but presumably, very short!) *G* All I know is that I wish I was there too! I MISS you! Can't WAIT to see some pictures!

    Maybe you'll write fluently in Arabic later on ;-)

    Oh, I can imagine that taxi trip. We had a similar one in Paraguay!!!

    Well, I think you've done very well on an Arabic keyboard, Gattina.

    32 degrees...just lovely. It was wet and cold today...strange for us.

    Hope the holiday is going well.
