Незапланированное лето в канун Нового года Unplanned summer on New Year's Eve

In fact, I wasn't going anywhere until New Year's Eve. But. . . a naive person assumes. . . : ))) And now, on the feast of St. Nicholas, it was already good in the evening that I was brought to the search engine of tours on the Internet. And - about a miracle! - an offer comes up with a departure on December 22 for an adult and a child of 10 years old for... 420 American money for two - in a very decent German "4" for all inclusive. Would you think long? Me not. Literally waking up my travel agent, I quickly booked this miracle (there were 3 empty seats on the plane), leaving an explanation with my husband, bosses at work and the child's teachers at school for later : )). And I must say, miracles do happen. The holiday was just fabulous.
Windrose Airlines took us without incident, transfer - on a mini-bus - 7 people to 2 hotels (at the airport, representatives of Tui "unobtrusively" tried to sell a visa without a queue, but for 17, to which we, of course, screwed up and settled down in the tail - 15 each ). By the way, if the child is entered in the passport of an adult, only one visa is required). Palm Beach, as has been repeatedly written, is quite apart. Unfinished hotels in this part of Hurghada - darkness, darkness. Mo, someday they will be completed, but now they give the impression of desolation and abandonment. Although it did not affect our excellent holiday in any way. The hotel is small and close to everything. We arrived at 11.30, for a chocolate bar "Alenka" they gave a number immediately. Our room 173 on the first floor with a terrace overlooked the spa, immediately behind which there is a small pool with a jacuzzi and slides (and what could be better for a 10-year-old boy? ), We were 25 meters from the sea beach. Sunbeds on the sea are not a problem at all (and the hotel, apparently, was not completely full), and there were few people who wanted to swim in the sea. There was always a place for us near the pool, too. at 8-8.30 we were already swimming, respectively, taking sunbeds. The entrance to the sea is sandy, but I didn’t like pinching the heels of the fish, so I put on coral slippers). The dolphin swam three times in a week - super feeling when he swam just half a meter away from me! )) The water temperature in the pool is from 23 to 27, the sea - 19-22. I swam both there and there in any weather))). Twice during these days there was a wind - it didn’t knock me off my feet, it was just not as comfortable as without it.
As for the food, no complaints. The selection is not huge, but decent enough. We preferred vegetables and fruits. Service is fast and friendly. They drank juices and cola in the bars))) (I immediately remember the Russians who were at the bar at the lookout from 9.30: they will pour soon! ))) But most of the vacationers are Germans, Swiss, Czechs. It was quiet in the evenings. Even on their Christmas day after dinner, there was no noise. From the tour operator we went for a free overview of Hurghada - the notorious oils, souvenirs, but we left only 45 minutes at the Sheraton. (((. But we still managed to buy something.

The evening flight did not strain - having handed over the room, we had lunch (there are no bracelets in the hotel, whoever was in a situation where they are cut off at 12.00 will understand me))), sat on the beach by the sea. Plus Tui - on the way back they don’t bring in Turkish sweets))), so we were one of the first to register back. Conclusion: "Schaub, we always rested like that! " I analyze what it was, and come to the conclusion: it was only the announced end of the world that affected such a price reduction. Yes, by the way, she talked to her husband, and the bosses at work, and the son's teachers - everyone was released. Vacation was fabulous! One of the best, and if you consider for what money - then the best! I already miss sunny Egypt! ; )))
