Must learn to spell Bedouin.
Went the to coffee shop with Ahmed and sat smoking a shisha and chatting for a bit – thought he meant to go to a proper coffee shop bit it was basically an outdoor bar sat on cushions and chilling with a shisha – very nice.
Had a takeaway on the way back to the hotel.
Up about 11 and finished packing, checked out of the hotel and went over to see Ahmed. He helped me bring my cases over and then we had lunch of falafel and foul with the lads – very nice!
Went for a wander down by the beach in Sharm and popped into the Hard Rock Cafe to charge my laptop.
Back to Ahmed’s where he helped me take my cases and get a cab to the Ferry Port.
Had to wait 15 minutes outside the port for the gates to open and then I was first in and onto the ferry. Got a lovely seat but left it 20 minutes later when 7 very noisy Spaniards sat next to me.
The crossing was supposed to take 90 minutes but 3 hours later, after watching The 300 on the large TVs, and a very rough crossing, I finally arrived in Hurghada and got a cab home.
First order was a bath and change of clothes. Popped down to El Hambra for a snack and caught up with Mohammed – he’s finally had his 4 front teeth replaced after losing them in a bike accident. A lady walked into the bar and Mohammed introduced her to me as Elaine. We sat and chatted for about an hour while I ate my curried prawns. She’s here visiting a sick Egyptian friend – very nice lady.
Back to the apartment and was up setting up www.aboutsharm.com until about 4am and was just dropping of when the Call to Prayer kicked off.
Awoke about 9:30 thanks to some prat’s car alarm which continued for the next 2 hours. Coffee and a shave, and then some work for ATC.
Amgad popped round about 13:00 and we caught up on stuff. He’s gone for a shower and I’ve starving, supposed to be having some lunch somewhere but not made it yet ;)
Khalif helped me get my bike out so that’s all ready to ride. Started first time.

I thought you're supposed to say Bedawi these days?
