Friday 15th May - a Pool day

Interestingly the orange juice you get yourself from the buffet at breakfast is not freshly squeezed – it tastes rather like a cross between watered down carton OJ and orange squash. Obviously it pays to keep your friendly waiter well tipped so he brings the proper stuff for you!
Another day by the pool. Mustafa kept us well supplied with Mocktails and beer as we lay and boiled. The All Inclusive plan here is a little weird…Mustafa had brought me a mocktail which was basically fruit juice, soda water and a hint of mint, which turned out not to be on the AI plan – yet its only fruit juice and water! I could have understood if it was full of booze, but its not – and fruit juice and soda water are included under AI. But as I said – a little baksheesh works wonders and he rang them through as one of the allowed mocktails.


We had dinner in the Italian restaurant which was lovely, but really rich and super filling…which turned out not to be a good thing later… Incidentally Egyptians and Scottish folks have something in common, namely a super-sweet tooth. Give us something that would induce a diabetic coma in peoples of most other nations are we’re happy!
