Still little wind over here, but the volleyball action has been intense and we are now getting pretty good at it, we have beaten the Russians from the other centre 3 days in a row now, they even tried to put us off by buying a new ball which was a bit odd but we got used to it, and whooped them again :) They are pretty good players too!
We have also had a few more BBQ's, one especially good was for my birthday, which Phil and I made homemade burgers with garlic, chilly, crushed black pepper and stuffed with Mozerella....sooo yummy!!! And also some amazing lemon and chilly calamari! Dinner was amazing and it was great to have the Russian staff over to have a meal between friends, no guests invited :)
Last night Phil and I went to Sharm el Sheik again, not for ice skating this time but to eat some good food and a watch the football. It was great to get away, do something we haven't done in such a long time, and we even managed to find a very nice bar with a very nice wide-screen TV and three sofas just for us, most importantly not too many horrible English tourists about to make us want to come back to El Tur!

No wind, BBQ time!!




No wind has led to us building our very own homemade BBQ, which we are surprisingly very pleased with! Last night saw its debue and it was awesome, really tasty food and a good night had by all! Just excuse the dodgy photo, although i think its kinda funny!

Where is the wind?!!!

So there has been very little blog action because there has been very little wind!! Somebody turned it off and to start with it was a nice rest, now we are slowly going crazy!!

We have played a lot of volleyball, been SUPing and snorkelling lots and connect 4 has become a very popular game!

Last night we had some excitement in the form of iceskating in Sharm el Sheikh followed by a few drinks in the centre of Sharm. We are not fans of Sharm, its tourist central and so built up and busy, but we know a couple of good places, chilled to for a bit, got in our dose of very good ice cream and then headed back to the quiet of El Tur. It was a really good night and a good call for our sanity!

The forecast now has some wind coming through at the end of the week i'm really hopeful it comes through! Until then I think I will have to learn to fish! Wish me luck :)
