So I did manage to get hold of a computer in the end to do this post, which is great. This week has been much better than the last week, now I can actually windsurf it is much more enjoyable to go out on the water and practise technique, stance, manoeuvres and freestyle. I knew there would be a good reason why I wanted to be good at windsurfing immediately and there definitely is, it's a great sport and I'm looking forward not only to doing more out here but carrying it on and getting better. Now that I have the basics I begin to see the similarities between windsurfing and juggling, all of the freestyle is similar to learning a trick when juggling: repetition and breaking down into small chunks.
The week has been a good week, hard at the beginning and getting much better. The last few days have been enjoyable, I've really loved getting out on the water and working on my windsurfing. The wind is looking pretty grim for this week unfortunately, but fortunately I'll be diving from Monday-Thursday this week so I will be not bothering too much about the wind. Hopefully the wind will be good again by Friday. I'm really looking forward to diving, it sounds well cool. Sometime this week we will be going quad-biking I think. This week just gone we went up into the mountains to meet some Bedouins and we had a meal up there under the stars around a fire. That was a great evening and we got some good pictures, we have some photographers in the group so they were experimenting and we got some good shots, which may possibly be appearing as my profile picture on facebook sometime soon.
What else has gone on this week? It's been hotter I think, and the evenings have been great, chilling out at the restaurant we always frequent and then coming back and going to bed. The waffles in the morning for breakfast are great, though the queue is often extremely long and the Egyptian honey is amazing, quite easily had with merely bread.
Every lunch is pretty much rice and chicken, give it another two weeks and I shall be sick of it I think. And for dinner at the restaurant in town the banana splits, though advertised as dessert and served before the starter are rather wonderful.
Having no phone is very annoying and I wish I hadn't been so stupid as to take it for a small windsurf,but too late now. I THINK that it's just the screen that has gone though so I'm still hopeful for not having to replace my SIM and for being able to get all my photos and stuff off my phone via my computer when I get back home. I can't believe that it's halfway through my time here, and I'm still looking forward to going up to see a Sinai sunrise which we're planning on doing in the last week.
Everything is good here and going well. I'm running out of time again, email me or facebook message me if you have other questions which I may answer or may try and deal with next week. Apparently it's Easter Sunday next week? I'm still Christian-less out here which is hard, and the group are almost always trying to get me drunk or allow myself to become drunk and don't understand why I won't, at least it's making me think about my own choices.
I also realised the other day that I may well miss the new Dr Who series.... which I will be most annoyed about. Grrrr. So yea...I think that's everything. I'm sure I had more I was going to say, but I can't think of anything really at the moment, it's funny what appears important at the time loses its importance even in the space of a week.
SO yea, hope everyone is doing well this week. I don't know whether you've still got good weather but according to the owners of the restaurant it's supposed to hit 39-40 Celsius this week. So ya...mega hot... I think I will be extremely grateful for the air con in my room by the end of this, though I reckon I'll end up being much colder than you might expect because I'll be under the water most of the time.
I've dragged this ending on long enough. So, for tonight, goodnight.
