I'm finally back in england and ready to tell tales about my travels in replacement of the last lamely short entry

It was FABULOUS. The only drawback about it was being continually eyed-up whenever I went outside of the hotel like I was a piece of meat. I hate that, being made a fuss about by men and coplete strangers at that. They really have no courtesy, all you are are a walking wallet and eye candy, nothing else.

That aside, I was extremely pleased. It was a 6 hour flight to Sharm which was craptacular 'cos I had little to do outside of reading and playing my DS. The hotel was incredible. The rooms were amazing and had hi-tech air conditioning, the food quality and variety was excellent and the pools and waterslides were superb.

I even got to go on a glass-bottomed boat and saw Sharm's brilliant corals and marine life. I went snorkelling off the back of that boat and the fish were weaving around my legs and feet. The water was crystal blue ad looking through the goggles underwater was totally mesmerising 'cos there were so many fish and corals. I even saw starfish and octopus.

Getting in the hotel pool wasn't even a chore because they were heated. I don't like getting into cold pools because cold water makes my joints painful but these pools were like stepping into a lukewarm bath.

Probably the awesomest thing was the cats. I was eating at a restuarat once outside the hotel and a huge pregnant female cat came up to me and lay on my lap with no invitation and no shyness. It was a pity saying goodbye to her, she was lovely. I swear the streets are teeming with Egytian Mau cats, a rare domestic breed in england. Some were cautious, others loved their fuss.

And OMG is was soo hot! Think of temperatures in degrees in the 30's! And the nights were humid. It was weird because it got completely dark by 5pm. Another thing is that it was mega exensive over there. For a large Aero chocolate bar, the majority of shops would chage in the region of 3 english pounds. Aero bars in england are a third that price. I think its because Sharm being prominently tourist-inhabited, shokeepers can fleece 'rich' tourists. It was insane.

Other than that it was an awesome holiday.
