The sun shines on the righteous

Or so they say, not that I am all that righteous, so it must be the case, if the sun is shining, that I am somewhere sunny - like Egypt !!!








So we left the cool, because it is not freezing at the moment, climate of Scotland and headed sort of South a bit to Sharm El Sheik, Egypt. Very little choice at the moment with flights so we were stuck with a THOMSON charter out of Glasgow, as usual a bit cramped to the usual commercial airlines, however, needs must and as we wanted the sun = beggears cannot be choosers.



Out of Glasgow at the crack of dawn and soon we were in the sun - marvellous . On arrival we were met by Reps from our Company, Classic Holidays, who escorted us through the airport and had us on a mini coach for the hotel, the Hilton Waterfalls, Sharm

Had a bit of a problem there as the Internet dropped off half way through the last attempt at the blog.
But , to summarise, as we are now in the bar, Sunday night, sun down - the staff are very nice, Maria in Customer services is looking after us - the waiters, pool boys, Spa Staff, everyone is very hepful , if your request is practicable and reasonable they will do their best to help.
We have all had massages, excellent, bars are fine, place is spotless - very scenic and on the side of a hill so thge little funicular lift is a boon (for old lazy blokes like me).

Sun has been shining and tonight we are off to Verdi's Bistro, within the hotel.

The pool boy, Rameses ll ( or I have suggested if he is bad Rameses the last) very photogenic.
