After one week in Egypt I'm back home full of memories and stories to tell. I spent the best part of the weekend looking through all the pics (more than 3000), sorting, making a best of folder then making a best of the best folder. I decided that there is no way I can squeeze everything into one little post so get ready for Egyptian week on Gypsy*Diaries! :)
I traveled with my mum and sis this time. We stayed in the Sunrise Le Jardin in Hurghada (one of the 2 main resort areas of Egypt, the other one being Sharm El Sheikh), I'm not gonna start moaning but I would not recommend this hotel to anyone. It looks great on pics, but in reality it was dirty, the food was awful, you had to stand in line for everything... (not to mention that there was no internet!!!) overall I was not impressed. The hotel had a nice garden and an OK beach, but the best part was definitely the amazing coral reef in front of the hotel with all kinds of beautiful colorful fish (some of them bigger than me! :) But more on diving and snorkeling in another post later this week!! (I bought an under water camera :)
The problem with North Africa is that your lodging options are very limited. Most people (like us) stay in these monstrous 500+ room, overcrowded hotels full of drunk tourists getting high on the all inclusive fun... but did I not say I will not moan???
Overall it was a fantastic vacation and I can't wait to show you all the pics I made in Cairo, Luxor and all the amazing places we have visited. Now sitting at my desk looking at the rain outside I can't even believe anymore that a few days ago I was lying on the beach... huh.... here are some of the beach fun pics we took, I hope you'll get more sunshine today than I do! :)

great photos, looks like you had such a beautiful time!!
Well you are right that it looks like fun!
I have never been to N. Africa and to be perfectly honest is scares me a bit- I have been to S. Africa (twice) and Swaziland but never in the north- Did you have any vibes of danger?
Wow..cool blog.how lucky to work in Egypt! what an amazing opportunity. Jealous :)
The pictures are amazing! Looks like you had tons of fun!!
I agree on the 500+ people resorts being a little much, they lose the personal touch....
BTW love the polka dot bikini!!
