Guest Sql_pl Posted September 5, 2007 Report Share Posted September 5, 2007 We just got back from our 2007 summer holidays with Ola so as always I created this little report for you guys. This time we decided to go to Egypt. Our friend dropped us at the airport which is around 200 km from our place. We started the journey at around 4 am... it was fun to watch some videos thanks to his RNS-E system... At around 6 am we arrived at the airport... it was time for a quick breakfast and some pics: Ola with her Seatimer: Flight was delayed but then we were finally aboard: We were flying with Egyptian Airlines... started to be exotic.... Above the clouds.... Leaving Europe... Welcome to Africa! Looks like they DO have a lot of sand over there! This is what I am more interested in actually: We landed safely and arrived at our Hotel: A nice 5-star Resort that just started operating this year so everything was fresh and new there. Here is how it looked like from the upper lobby: Here is a view from our balcony: And this is where our holidays really started! Spent amazing time just relaxing, tanning, taking pics and exploring Hurghada City in the evenings. Here is Ola modelling my Cousteau: And here is me doing the same thing: No watch here... I just like this pic : Some IWC shots: And a close up... Some pics of the hotel... Our beach... And if you are not totally bored I would like to take you to the center of Hurghada - Sakala. Let's take a cab... When you are asking a taxi driver for the price he says 75 Egyptian Pounds... you bargain a bit and you have a ride for... 20 which is around $3.5 You'd like some water? Help yourself Here is what surprised me in one of jewelry shops: Look closer... Asian 21j everywhere And some more: Hey they even had a Breitling SLR Hoped to find something of our quality but with no luck... they said they have better quality hidden somewhere and pulled the same [censored] out... onlykept asking "Battery or automatic?"... "... you want Rolex, Breitling?" So that would be it my friends. Hope it wasn't too boring.... sorry for the amount of pics but wanted to give you a good overall vision of Egypt.... We had great fun there but were really tired of all this crap in their shops and the way they tried to do whatever it takes to sell us something.... Oh and of course I did not forget about the RWG shot on the beach... just like last year Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geo1nah2a Posted September 5, 2007 Report Share Posted September 5, 2007 Thank you for the nice pics and welcome back to rwg. I see the IWC CD has become your favorite watch. PS: Not the best weather these days here in Poland..11c and rain. I am sure you are already missing the sea and sun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jetsons Posted September 5, 2007 Report Share Posted September 5, 2007 Awesome pics & thanks for sharing! Looks like you had a wonderful time. I've never been to Egypt but it looks fantastic. BTW, the Cousteau is a beauty. I had the opportunity to play with Kruzer's and that is one sweet piece. Cheers, J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jfreeman420 Posted September 5, 2007 Report Share Posted September 5, 2007 Beautiful pics. Makes me think I need a vacation. You have a wonderful woman that doesn't mind you taking pics of your watches on vacation. Mine calls me a nerd everytime I take a watch pic.

robertk Posted September 5, 2007 Report Share Posted September 5, 2007 Great photo's. Looks like you had a great vacation. Thank you for sharing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
professor_yaffle1 Posted September 5, 2007 Report Share Posted September 5, 2007 Great pics, and interesting review. looks like a nice complex, empty beach too........but no underwater shots? Surely you went diving with the Cousteau? Abu Nuhas, maybe? Or the Thistlegorm? Must agree about the local selling practices, I got sick of them after about 4 days...nearly twatted one bloke.....which wouldn't have been very clever.... prof Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kollektor Posted September 5, 2007 Report Share Posted September 5, 2007 Great fun. I concur with JFreeman - any woman who agrees to have wrist shots taken is a keeper. Mine refuses outright on grounds that it's absolutely ridiculous. "What's wrong with you?!," she growls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephane Posted September 5, 2007 Report Share Posted September 5, 2007 So cool to: 1) Have a GF that accept to be pictured 2) Have a GF that accept to be pictured with watches 3) Go on holiday with a GF that accept to be pictured 4) Go on holiday with a GF that accept to be pictured with watches All other option is NOT cool and the GF/Wife should be fired. Thanks Sql for sharing your nice GF/Watch/Holiday Cheers Stephane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Sql_pl Posted September 5, 2007 Report Share Posted September 5, 2007 Thanks everyone! I am glad you enjoyed the report! @Kenberg Yes, we had to wear those bands in order to indicate that we had "All inclusive" program with all meals and drinks for free.

jkerouac Posted September 5, 2007 Report Share Posted September 5, 2007 Maciek, When you "warn" people here that one of your posts includes lots of pictures, you are dangling bait in front of an avid horde of viewers. I will add my thanks to those of the many other fans of your photography skills. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jfreeman420 Posted September 6, 2007 Report Share Posted September 6, 2007 All other option is NOT cool and the GF/Wife should be fired. I accept that I have a watch obsession and that thought has crossed my mind with a few of them, but I do need to hold on to a little bit of sanity.
