Marsa Alam, Egypt

We just got back from a one week holiday in Egypt. The weather was really warm and the hotel was really nice.
It had a playground for the kids to play in.
It had a nice long beach. Great for walking on
and building sand castles.
It had a coral reef right in front of it. Although the coral wasn't in great shape, there were tons of fish to see.
We were out everyday to spot new fish.

There were lots of Russian tourists there. I didn't find them to be very friendly and they seemed to think they should be served before everyone else.

Never a cloud in the sky.

Alicia prefered jumping in the heated pool.

Although she clung to me the first day in the pool, by the end of the week she wanted to do everything by herself.

The cleaning guy was very friendly and was very good at decorating our bed everyday with a different animal.

This week

Here are a couple of pictures from this week. Alicia having breakfast with Hervé.
The pool got filled and cemented in this week. Having it cemented in should prevent "pool popping" which can happen when it rains too much and the pressure under the pool is so strong that it makes the pool pop out of its hole.
