It was pretty windy or the start of the week and then we got a lucky day of rest before some more win came through.

We have a very strange situation here where we have guests stuck out here who cannot fly home because of the ash cloud over europe, as well as many who were supposed to arrive and are unable to get here. People are no longer here by choice, need and want to go home to families and work, and although it's been windy and so they are happy enough its a strange thing when everyone is normally here on holiday loving it.

Last night the staff had a trip to Sharm for some good food, which was lovely, and as always makes us feel very happy to come back to El Tur away from the lights, noise and mass tourism of Sharm. Today is a light one forecast, but hopefully it will pick up enough for me to have a kite lesson, I would really like to get up and riding again this year as it would open many lightwind doors for me and Phil.
