And I'm flying to where they accept (c) Part 2
To be continued. Start here >>>
In the morning, a huge bus came for us to take us on a free tour of the city. We were first. They took people from the neighboring Sultan Garden and Xspiriens Sea Breeze hotels. The bus was packed to capacity with freebie lovers. And we also asked the guide how the precautionary measures will be observed? He assured us that they would. Yes! But we just arrived yesterday, and where is the guarantee that the test results of the people sitting next to us have already arrived? Well, what is there! Even if we leave now, go and prove that we were not here! We are already on the list.
Okay, let's go. As expected, the purpose of this tour was not at all a desire to acquaint us with the sights of Sharm el-Sheikh, but stupidly sell something. Brought to the "oil factory". My aunt spoke so convincingly about the miraculous properties of the oils that, by God, even I could hardly restrain myself from buying it. But Verka could not resist. She explained this by the fact that she would already buy everything and calm down, and, as always, I would run around with bulging eyes and buy everything at the last moment. Well, I'm running! Verka bought half a liter of walnut oil for an insane price of 40 bucks (and this is with a 50% discount).
After that, we were shown one attraction - a mosque. True, they were not allowed inside. Therefore, having been satisfied with outdoor photos from all angles, we drove on.
And then in the "Scam" program there was a candy store. The one opposite Leila-Valeila. I didn't buy anything there either. I do not eat sweets and do not advise others. And Verka again forked out and bought all sorts of garbage. I wonder where she is going to shove it, if her backpack was already full?
There was a leather shop nearby. We were not taken there, but we ourselves looked in. It was there that I could not resist buying and after a furious bargaining I bought myself a bag and a purse for Vadik. I remember that I never managed to bargain for bags cheaper than $ 30, which is why I assigned such an amount for each unit. The seller, complaining about the crisis, reluctantly gave it. Verka also bought her husband a purse for $30. We went to a nearby store, twirled there, left. Our guide Natalya was waiting for us at the candy store with a longtime leather seller. They ask if we have lost a phone or camera? They shouldn't have! I rummaged through the entire bag and found only the phone. And there is no pixie! They show me - well, yes, mine! And how did I do it? The seller began to demand 5 bucks as a thank you! I waved my bag at him and told him to go... We already made him happy with a purchase of almost a hundred! He left laughing.
This concludes our tour. Satisfied, our guide smiled from the top of her head - you see, she got a sickly kicker. Many returned to the bus with their purchases. But we must give her credit - she chattered incessantly, and we learned a lot of interesting things. For example, how Egypt took the Sinai from Israel in just 6 days. Dropped and quit. And only Mubarak took it seriously. He began to distribute land for free, but with the condition that the new owners build hotels. And they were built! And what was wrong with the late Hosni?
Fearing that after dinner we would be drawn back to bed with irresistible force, we went to the promenade before dinner. Ooooh! What there were mangoes! So huge!
Prices - from one and a half dollars to 4 per kilo. Depending on the variety. The one we bought pulled out as much as two hundred kilos. Of course, one and a half dollars. Yielding to the persuasion of the seller, we went to the leather store to inquire. Bliiiin! Then I saw a bag, better than the one I bought, and for only 20 bucks. I didn't even want to ask for the purses. She left feeling frustrated. We went to the pharmacy. Now Verka was already upset. There were all the same oils as in the "factory", but 2 times cheaper. And in the candy store was the same picture. Everything is the same, but many times cheaper.
Waking up, out of habit, shortly before dawn, I ran to the beach. Verka again abstained, although she woke up much earlier than me. Today there were clouds in the sky and the dawn was more interesting.
Waiting for sunrise, I climbed to swim. The water was like fresh milk, warmer than the air! It was not hot at night, only 22, and I didn’t turn on the air conditioner, but I didn’t open the window with the balcony either, fearing not so much mosquitoes as annoying suitors in the face of the staff. Having learned that we are here without men, all the sweet boys, from the bartender to the cleaner, began to show me signs of attention. Completely starved, poor fellows! They are already throwing themselves at grandmothers! However, they did not cross the border. Losing a job because of a woman at a time like this is the height of stupidity!
They cut the mango with a knife stolen from the canteen. Very sweet and juicy!
After breakfast, having come to the beach, we were once again attacked by the beachboys, or what are they called here? The boys offered diving, parasailing and a yacht. I have already tried parasailing in Croatia. I didn't want a yacht. Diving, perhaps, to try? I thought it was worth 10 bucks. But no! As many as 25 in 20 minutes. But nafig! I, swimming along the reef, watched the beginners being submerged. In exactly where there are no corals and fish at all. Pay such grandmas to stupidly learn how to breathe underwater? I don't earn that much in 20 minutes. And I don’t earn in a day.
Today I swam even longer and further. I saw Napoleon and a moray eel sitting in a hole and stupidly opening its mouth. Fish scurry around, and she sits. Apparently, in the hope that someone will climb into her mouth. Lazy-yuga! Although it is possible that this is happening. I watched how small fish climb into the gills of large ones and eat something out there. Another time, and in the mouth too. But no one eats them. All vegetarians, right? Sometimes they sailed from the heels of rather large, phosphorescent blue fish with an unkind look, from which the small fry scuttled in different directions. But I have never seen them grab anyone.
Oh, I wonder how! I would like to share what I saw with someone! Though with the same Verka. People are filming something. Buy yourself a case? Approaching one man with a cased phone around his neck, she asked where he got it and how much it costs? He said that he bought it on the boardwalk next to the hotel for only a vandollar. But you need to bargain, because the price starts already from 5. Bye, I’ll buy it! And still I will buy, nevertheless, that bag. Only first you need to attach the previous one. To this end, I took a picture of it and sent it to several work colleagues. One wanted to buy it. Well, okay!
During the 5 times that I have already visited Egypt, I managed to go on all conceivable excursions, except for boat trips. And to sit out all 11 days in a hotel - it’s possible to hang yourself! I knew all the fish by sight after 2 days. Before the trip, I wrote in a PM to Larisa Orbitturs, who previously wrote actively here. But she didn't answer. I already took a trip to Jordan from her, so I still have her viber. I wrote there. And in response - silence! What happened, one can only guess.
Then I found on the Internet the first company I came across with reasonable prices and without any prepayment. I wanted to go again to where I liked it, namely, to the Colored Canyon and Mount Moses.
There was Wi-Fi in the hotel. At the reception and in the bar and canteen adjacent to it. For the first couple of days, I could even speak perfectly in viber. Then, apparently, there were more people, and it became a problem to get through. But the messages went well.
Sipping a beer in a bar before dinner, I wrote to the Nil Voyage agency on viber. They immediately answered me, assuring me that tomorrow we can go on a 4 in 1 excursion, namely, a canyon, camel riding along the sea, snorkeling in Dahab, and a visit to the market (where would we be without it? ). And all this pleasure is only 18 bucks per person. There was also a 5 in 1 tour, which included another 45 minutes of quad biking, but it was 8 bucks more expensive. We didn't want to. It is better, if anything, to take a full-fledged excursion on quadrics. But this is unlikely.
They promised to pick us up at five minutes to 8.
I ran down the boardwalk and at the second store I managed to bargain for a case for $1.
After lunch we went to the beach again. By the way, I have never seen a single person at the pools. What is there to do? The bars didn't work. The towel man, however, sat dejectedly, biting.
I was swimming barefoot and, approaching the pontoon ladder, I slipped on the wet boards. Fall did not fall - she stayed on her feet, but managed to drop the mask directly into the water, and in addition somehow awkwardly twisted her “index” toe. A diver immediately dived behind the mask and managed to catch it. The finger worried me, but I went down into the water and swam away, forgetting about it for a while.
Returning from the swim, I felt my finger. Fracture? Injury? Fig knows him! In a calm state, it doesn’t seem to hurt, but somewhere something shoots in him, and it’s scary to step on. Verka offered to tie it to the middle finger, but I refused. Poshkandybala in the room. Hi, , and tomorrow same on tour! On our previous visit, we had to overcome an obstacle course. How will I manage this task now?
Yes, and in general, somehow dumb! What is the firm? Oh, they will sell us into sexual slavery! (dreaming is not harmful) Or on organs. However, what are the organs of our age?
I wrote to Vadik, if anything, we were picked up by the "Nile" agency. And an elderly couple at the next table was asked if we did not appear at the next dinner, tell the reception to inform the police.
