This morning we said goodbye to our new friends, who we hope to visit soon in Canada and NZ.
Then we got picked up by our Traveline representative then headed off to the airport to catch our flight to Sharm El Shieke. It was only a 45 minute flight on Egyptian Arlines and we ended up arriving in Sharm at 8:30am. But along the way you could see all the terrific coral in the Red sea as we flew over it. Just wetting our appetite and making us even more excited about diving.
On our arrival to Sharm our Traveline rep met us and took us back to the time share apartment. There we made plans for the week and booked up our diving trips, including the check dive for this afternoon.
The apartment we had booked ended up being nothing like it was in the brochure, so Di and I (on Uncle Paul and Aunty Chris's behalf made alternative arrangements). When we went for our check dive at the Sheraton we were blown away with the facilities... so after our check dive we went and checked out the prices to stay in the Sheraton, they were a bit pricey. But we worked our charm and used our new bargaining skills to get the rooms for about 30% of the original charge... which was awesome. So we booked to stay for the rest of the week...
That night when Uncle Paul and Aunty Chris arrived from the UK we took them to the original apartment then took them to their suprise new alternative, THE SHERATON SHARM.. They loved it... as did we.. So we ended up having a light snack then went to bed...
