WORDLESS WEDNESDAY
This is a whirling Dervish performing a show for the tourists in Egypt in the hotel where I stayed. I had seen them also in Tunesia and Turkey. The dance is of religious origin where monks whirled around dressed all in white.

WORDLESS WEDNESDAY
The whirling dance is a form of meditation, a way of connecting with the cyclical nature of life and the universe in order to reach a higher plane of spiritual consciousness. In Egypt, dancers perform a folkloric dance known as tanoura, based on Sufi whirling dervish tradition.

BELLY DANCING, AND WHIRLING DERVISHS,
Since I discovered the Internet café I had to change my blogging hours ! Now my day starts with breakfast, laying on the beach, swimming, Yoga on the grass, lunch, swimming, reading, then I return to my room to take a shower and prepare pictures and text for the post of the day, before I go down to my Internet café.
which is on the way to the restaurant.
Yesterday evening we attended a show again, this time it was belly dancing and a whirling Dervish. As we have seen this so often Dominique and I didn't find them very good, they danced too mechanical. But we had fun with the animation team, who tried to do their best to entertain the guests !
The start was very good, she danced around swinging a golden cloth
Then she throw the cloth in a corner and started belly dancing
Then we watched the Dervish whirling around !
Today the weather was cloudy for once when I got up at 6.30 am (!) everything looked grey, but warm, already 25 °C. So we started our day as usual.
As usual mostly Germans put something on the beach beds very early before you get the beach towels at 8 am, some of them even keep the old towels to be sure to get the best places. For that sometimes they are already on the beach at 6 am or even before and then they return in their beds ! Some Easter country people do that too, and we the others have difficulties to find a nice place ! It's useless to complain or explain. They only get angry.
The sea was quiet rough, but the painter continued to paint the rocks in a nice yellow ocher it was difficult to keep the balance on the dancing boat !
The ships were dancing around too !
The decoration in the in the reception hall had been changed and new flowers were in the vases !
Everywhere the flower decoration if very beautiful ! Real artists !
We had a funny "adventure" with an elderly lady who suddenly stood in Nicole's bathroom when she was naked as Good had created her ! but that's a story for tomorrow !
Tonight we intend to go to Hurghada city center and do some shopping.

WHAT DID YOU DO THIS WEEKEND ?
Helps you to remember what you have done on the weekend of October 23. You never know if you need an alibi ! If you participate please put the little logo on the top of your post and leave your link.
My weekend is like all the days in last week and will be the next week too, until I fly back on next Sunday.
Observing people is a big work when you are at the beach.
I saw some very touching scenes, like this very old lady who sat in a wheelchair, but with the help of her nurse could sit in the warm salty water and enjoy the waves. Besides the little children building sandcastles and having fun too.
I did a lot of swimming and of course ate a lot too, the food is delicious and it is not the moment to do any diet.
Each evening we have a show at the swimming pool or in the Disco, and on Saturday night it was an Egyptian show with wonderful costumes and dances.
Dina looking for new clients on the beach
On Sunday it was the same whole day, watching people and chatting with Dina and her friend, they are both working in the beauty shop and do massages. They are such nice girls and are always coming to say hello and to chat.
The Belly Dancer
and the little boys
Sunday evening was a Belly Dancing show which was very nice, so funny to see the little boys yawning and keeping their hands on the ears, they didn't appreciate the round shapes of the lady yet.
After the Belly Dance came a whirling Dervich.
It was really crazy to see him whirling around without getting dizzy ! But then came his 8 year old son and danced exactly like him and then they danced together !
it was just amazing. I was speechless to see this little guy turning and turning. I made a video and I will show it when I am at home again.
