Party 2003

 

Again all was quiet on the Hurghada front where Inge and Michel spent their day shade bathing (it was way to hot for the sun), reading and listening to some music.

We were going to go snorkelling to the reef at bit further in the sea, but were once again scared off by the huge school of jelly fish who blocked our way. So we stayed at the corral closer to the beach.

As I wanted to do some quad riding through the dessert I went to the shop in the hotel where they organised the quad tours. I arranged to go that same evening for 2 hours of dessert fun. There weren’t any other people but the guide and me. This was good, nobody to slow me down… I bought a scarf (or whatever they call them) which made me look like Arafat, but kept the sand out of my face and eyes.

The ride through the dessert was fantastic! The route we took was one they can only take when there are a maximum of 3 quads as there are so many hills they wouldn’t be able to keep control if the group was bigger. It was a very spectacular ride with many steep hills. We followed the coast for a while and stopped twice for about 5 minutes. I was sorry I hadn’t brought my camera, they would have been nice shots. Unfortunately the guide had a flat tire so we had to return about 20 minutes early.

After the ride I had a couple of cold beers, followed by some food and more drinks.
