Hurghada

Thanks so much to Corinne and Ian for overnight accommodation and a lift to Gatwick.

The flight was painless and the efficiency at hurghada airport left me breathless! Visas and bags obtained and outside in 10 minutes!

Private car to hotel, shower and a walk around the town.  Average meal in hotel then sleeeep!

Up at 5:00 with the call to prayer so went out and found a 24 hour bar opposite the hotel with wifi and drank lots of great coffee.

Cloudy yesterday so walked around the town, had lunch at the sister hotel and then had a nap.  Grabbed a taxi into Sakkala for £1 and had a wander around.  Very nice but i think I prefer  El Dahar where the hotel is.

Back to the 24 hour bar and up chatting until 3:30!

Woke around 11 this morning and was picked up  by an estate agency to view some apartments.  Very nice  but out of the way and surrounded by building sites.  Back to the 24 hour bar and sat here with Ismael, a bloke I’ve just met whose brother has 2 apartments  for rent in El Dahar – off to view in 10 mins.
