Holiday Egypt - October 2007


Sofitel in Taba Heights. Excellent accommodation and food. A thoroughly enjoyable 7 days.
















A shot of the Pool Area - 3 pools, 1 saltwater and 2 fresh with one being allegedly cooler than the other!


Our spot on the beach ! 29degrees and light breeze! as Sharon would say "heaven".....









Spotted this guy on the beach - Steve was happy as it made him look anorexic and gave an excuse for just a few more beers!

















Sharon and Steve "looking cool" en route to Petra - Jordan. This was the watering hole and the "toilet" that you just did not want to use!










At Petra - treading in the footsteps of India Jones.......



















First glimpse of the famous "treasury" of Petra...




















Sharon and Steve in front of treasury..........










Even in Petra "we" found some time for shopping.............












We declined this offer of a lift back to Egypt....










The start of our Bedouin "Desert and the Stars" evening - literally 90 minutes into the "middle of no-where"....








Sharon just after being told there is after all Desert dessert....













The Stars bit of the evening as technology hits the dunes.........


















Leave it to you to decide who enjoyed the "hubbly bubbly" the most....

















Baking Bread on an open fire- never tasted better!















Being entertained! Yes the drum is actually an empty jerry can!

This was a great evening out









End of a lovely holiday - 6 lbs heavier but tanned and relaxed!
Now we are ready for the pleasures of the English winter! (not!)
Already looking forward to Cyprus in February..........
