The final countdown

And now to finish up on what we did for the rest of the holiday. Mostly this involved lounging around in the sun by the pool reading. I say in the sun, but seeing as I mostly didn't get up until about lunchtime and the sun went down about 4 then it was less so for me.



The resort wasn't really near anything, and the entertainment was all in Italian, so we did spend more time than normal in our rooms. If we did want to go to Na'ama bay then we had to get a taxi there, which mean haggling with the driver every time about how much the price was, and this ranged from 40-80 Egyptian Pounds. I hate haggling, and was getting very bored of it by the end. We mostly only went there to watch the football anyway.

On trip we went on was to go quad biking in the desert. I was a bit disappointed with this as we weren't taken over any dunes or sanything so it was all like driving normally (well, as normal as you can get on a quad bike). It was good enough to kill a few hours, and also scary in the minibus as he seemed to spend half the journey getting there driving on the wrong side of the road.




We also went snorkling one day as well, and even Tina got in and swam around, which seeing as she can't swim was might impressive. She was wearing a life jacket and holding onto the safetly ring all the time, but still. We saw a turtle swimmming down deeper, which was great as I had never seen one before. We did take an underwater camera, but it sprang a leak and so most of the pictures didn't come out well at all.




At the resort, I would have joined in games, even though I obviously couldn't understand what the enteretainment team were saying, but the sand was very stony, and my beach volleyball career was curtailed pretty early on by a big cut I got on my big toe when landing on the sand, and so I didn't play anything else.
