Last week was a great week. Both of my kids were here at the same time!
Unfortunately, their flight was delayed because of the huge sandstorm we had. While we hung around Luxor Airport the kids were happily drinking coffee in Marsa Alam, where they had been diverted to, before the plane finally arrived in Luxor some 5 hours late! But it was still a fantastic feeling to see them both walking through arrivals!

We did not have a strenous week, a week is too short, so it was good to just catch up and spend time together.
We did, however, manage a fabulous day at the Red Sea and had some seriously good beach time.

The drive back was a tad scary though....... Western Desert Road, in the dark with most Egyptians never using any lights!

Sightseeing was minimal this time, although we did spend a great afternoon at the Valley of the Nobles, before heading to the Ramesseum Cafe for a beer.
Sailing of course........ and the last afternoon was spent on the river. Perfect wind, very relaxing and a gorgeous sunset.
We had lots of eating out and I was especially impressed with Pizza Roma. Great Italian food at reasonable prices.
Sadly, the week passed far too quickly, and it was time to head back to the airport.
But I loved having them both here and I am hoping its not too long before they are back!
