Making the most of our last day


SUNDAY 7th

Oh its looking so good - not a cloud in the sky and a calm seal but still that cold northerly wind. We settled down on our sunbeds and today Margaret joined us as allegedly Stuart is going for a last game of golf, although he aches all over and has a head cold. In the end he just collected his clubs and came home. The water in our pool is always cold - too cold for Margaret to dip and and out of and with the heat getting to her she decided to return to her bed by the Sculpture pool. It was a perfect day but the sea was very cold and so we didn't venture in due to returning home tomorrow. The flies were the biggest problem perhaps because we had so many shrubs around us.


We took our usual stroll to the Dive Centre for lunch where we had even more flies trying to share our meal. We chose the spicy lamb pitta sandwich as it is wrapped in paper thinking the flies would not get access to our meal - they tried their best. When we had finished eating we moved to a table in the shade which is where we should have sat in the first place.








We returned to our sunbeds but really wanting to get into the sea. It was after 4pm before we made our way up to our room. The sun was still shining over Jordan and Saudi with the mountains taking on a red tinge which if conditions are right reflects into the sea - hence the 'Red Sea'. We have only seen this once this holiday and that was in front of the Club Med site.
We were first into the 'Tanour' to be soon joined by the rest of regulars forcing the French out, and I mean out. Tonight seats have been arranged by the 'Fram' garden shed so they can play their noisy games there. We have all said we should hate to be here when it is busy as it is the team rather than the guests that seem to do all the shouting.

Tonight's cabaret in 'On the Rocks' was a belly dancer and another 'Spinner' but once again I failed to have my camera with me. I can never get tired of watching this routine. The disco began and so we had more exercise before retiring around midnight.
