I am - SADLY - back from my holidays in Egypt. :( But all good things sooner or later come to an end and here I am, back to work, back to normal life!
The good thing is that I am full of great memories from my holidays and all these memories I will share with you in some posts here on my blog. I shall add some photos as well, but in real, all is trillion times better than on photos :)
OK, departure day - 14th July at 20:00 in the evening from the Ljubljana airport, which has BTW new name since a month ago - now it's called Airport of Jože Pučnik! I don't know why they did that, coz' none of Slovenian people likes the idea....
However, I think I mentioned once before in my blog that Miha's friend will be flying the plane; the one who went with him to England.
We met him before the flight and he was really happy to see us. I also met senior co-pilot and he was great; very funny guy :)
The plane had a little delay, but we took off at 8.45pm.
After the meal we got (BTW: the food on our planes is GREAT), Miha asked one flight attendent if we can go to the cabin where the pilots are. The funny thing was that Miha said to those girls/ladies that he was one of the new co-pilots and no one really believed him; one of them said that she remembers him a little, but that was it :P
However, we than went to the cabin and the captain showed me all around - though there's very little space to stand there...but was fun :) and the captain and co-pilot seemed to be very happy and in great mood; we laugh a lot and was really cool for me :) being there.
After 15-20 minutes we went back to the seats and than did nothing. :s
That's the problem (if you ask me) on flights that last more than hour or hour and half; that after you eat, there's not much more you can do :( There is a magazine for each avaiable, but when you read that one, you are back to start :( The flight to Sharm el-Sheikh lasts 3 and half hours and I was really, really happy when we touched the ground. :) Not only to be able to stand up from the seats, but coz' we finally arrived there.
We arrived at 1.30am local time (they are one hour + from us) and outside was +32 C!!!!!
We went through all the checks (there are many BTW), got our VISA and went to the bus who took us to our hotel.
We stayed in Sun Set hotel, 10 minutes from Old Market and about 20 minutes from Naama Bay. It was a 3* hotel and was very lovely. It was clean, well furnished, had swimming pool, shops inside hotel...so was good. :)
As we arrived, we went to bed, since we were tired from traveling.
On Sunday 15th July we mostly stayed around hotel, exploring the neighbourhod, shops and so on.
We also stayed lots of time in the pool, coz' it was so damn hot outside.
We also had the meeting with out turist guide and we paid for 3 trips :) It would be a shame to stay all the week in the hotel and not to see anything. |
