You are right - I didn't have much of a problem with the mossies, whereas my girlfriend got eaten alive.

I don't know whether they couldn't fight their way through the jungle of hair or whether one of them tried my blood, discovered that it was 50% Diet Coke and told its mates to go for another target!

Your right Jayne,

It makes me a lot happier to be moving out somewhere, where at least I know a few people and that there are others going through the same thing.

And we will have one almighty party when we meet up. We'll just have to talk Queenie into joining us lol

Hi girls - still working on that one!! Anyway cant see it happening. But I can always get the ferry over and spend the day with you girls cant I??
One of you might be confident driving out there by then and can pick me up from the harbour. My friend does in Sharm and causes a few stares as not many women drivers at all in Sharm. Thinking about it I think she is the only one!

Absolutely no problem. My husband and I are already arguing about who is going to drive and it looks like I've lost already!! I've been eyeing up a few BMW X3 (the small 4x4) in Cairo. They are about £10k for a year old one with very little mileage. But after reading Peter's thread about the driving I might just by a 10 year old old battered thing.

There's this one part of the Intercontinetal area I saw which is storage area for taxis and cars that have been in accidents.

Scared the life out of me to see the state that some of them were in. The only way I'm going to be driving over there is if I can find an ex-army surplus T-72 tank!

For anyone who it interested in tracking the weather over the last 10 years in hurghada I have found an excellent website - Welcome to The Weather Underground : Weather Underground

Just click on the trip planner tab, type in Hurghada and a two week period and the temperatures, humidity, rain, cloud cover and much, much more come up.

Excellent wee tool

Thia is a good one as well COLONA WATERSPORTS livecam - kite school, kiteboarding lessons, kitesurfing, water sports, Hurghgada egypt it is updated every couple of minutes and has weekly and daily graphs as well as temps and wind etc.
I must say though the webcam in Sharm is better!!

Extra bit for this thread.

IT'S MY BIRTHDAY ON WEDNESDAY 23RD JANUARY

If anyone or everyone on here would like to get me a present I have an idea!

If you all chip in and get me a flight to Hurghada from Manchester going on Friday that would be the best present ever. it does not have to be return.
Then I could meet you all at airport every week with my weekly supply of bacon.

Don't surpose alot of you will tell me where to go LOL and no bad language on the tread though.

Just abit of fun xxxxxxx
