Sham el Naseem

Has it ever struck you how Egyptians manage to get every holiday to coincide with either a Thursday or a Sunday? A well hatched conspiracy with the powers-that-be to ensure a long weekend, no matter what the excuse..

Decided rather late that Cairo was not so entertaining for a 4 day break, and, maybe, just maybe, we should head out but there was not a place within decent driving distance from Cairo that was available. Who says Egypt is a poor country, not if you go by all the Red Sea resorts that seem to be perinially full!!

So the loooooooong weekend was spent cursing myself for waking up so late. And just to make up for my stupidity, have decided to go to Sharm next weekend. Better late than never...
