If you are in Sharm, it's well worth taking a trip up the coast to Dahab to the Blue hole, the outside edge of that reef is truly spectacular.
We did that, was knackered by the time we got there though (jeep safari) and could not stay in the water long.
Wow Tigerissey sounds like you had a fab holiday...next time we go we will do Cairo and the valley of kings etc...we just wanted to chill out on the last holiday.
now Turkey I have been to many many times as well! Where are you going?
We did have an amazing holiday, I would recommend the tour to anyone.
We go to a little place called Calis Beach, by Fethiye, and stay at Aytur Hotel, which is right on the beachfront, we get the best room in the hotel and always book direct with the owners and just book a flight. We have been for the last 3 yrs on the trot (was naughty last year went away twice), and it was where Andrew and I went for our very first holiday together in 1998. We did Marmaris in 2004 as well. It is our old faithful holiday, we have lots of friends in Calis now, I walk up the seafront and people shout Tinaaaaaaa. We have met lots of English over there that have holiday homes too, always someone to have a drink with, the owners treat you really special too, last year we got there and there were bouganvillia flowers all over the bed with shapes made out of towels, waiters cannot do enough either.
One waiter keeps in touch with me, calls Andy his Abi (big brother), he always seeks us out when we are there, we take him some dairy milk chocolate too.
2 weeks on Saturday, I will be there, just need to get through the flight first though, if you have read the journal you will know why. Suppose I really ought to start sorting clothes and such out, its difficult on crutches though.
