The Egypt Diaries - 28 October 2010

Wake up - run/gym, swim and breakfast. Getting into a routine now which is idea for me.

The Ukrainian Guest Manager Natalya has been helping me with arranging my excursions. I booked the snorkeling for Friday. Mr Aldo very generously liaised with the Diving company and got this for free. Writing a review (and hopefully a positive one) does have its benefits. The general manager is also looking into my other excursions I have planned in order to get the very best deal. Nice man.

I have now fully accepted that I have been robbed and all my worldly goods have been stripped from my home including my treasured Dell computer. I hope those people who have been involved in this theft burn in hellfire and damnation. That's enough negativity I am going to have a great time in Egypt - a curse on those bastard criminals.

In the evening did my customary circuit of the hotel. Took me 35 minutes. In the heat I would think it must be the equivalent of doing 6 miles around Battersea Park.

After dinner ascended to the rooftop for the evening entertainment. The head of animation Jac was doing a turn with fireballs and earlier on we had an Egyptian dance twirling a flashing blanket over his head. Not the greatest spectacle that I have witnessed but it was a country-mile better than the awful Karaoke singer we had the previous nights. His rendition of Bob Marley's No Woman No Cry was a vicious assault on the ears.

The evening continued in Naam Bay. Did not stay for long knowing I had an early start for the snorkeling expedition. We were to visit Ras Mohamed National Park - I understand the best place for this type of excursion outside Australian's Barrier Reef.
