Winterbreak

 

From Dahab to winterbreak, how is that possible? I can't think of any specific reason why I haven't been very active on my own dearest blog, but don't worry, every impression I got in Egypt, can be reproduced here in words. To not bore you to death I'll stick to some highlights for now:

Tanned as we were, we had to make an entrance in After Eight, a bar in Downtown we visit once in a while. The dresscode, which only me and Deirdre stuck by, was: WHITE !

Two white rabbits, me and Didi.

Yep, face it girls. Mizo is still interested in me.

Deirdre, Miranda, and then; is Annabell next or Mark?

Little sweaty from dancing...another reason to wear white!

 

Later that week I attented a pretty nice Jazz concert at the Junaina Theatre at Azhar Park. Nice location. Nice musicians (from all over the world). And I did my best to be a  nice piece of audiance. I have a few records from the concert, but I didn't manage to put them on here, so you'll have to take my word for it.

A few hours later I got some henna painted on my hand. The henna that eventually ended up on my face (no picture available!) was my own fault. When I went to bed, the henna wasn't completely dried up and I eventually slept on my hand. So as you've guessed: I got twice the henna for the same price. I could only start laughing about it though when I got all of it off after I rubbed five lemons on it.

The next few days or weeks, we sometimes chose for a quiet evening at home with the girlzzzz, where we'd watch a movie on MBC 4 (our most favorite channel for the moment; they have Desperate housewives!). But sometimes.....we wanted ACTION!

So we went to Dreampark , a not so small animation park, to get ourselves dizzy. Jolly, did we had some fun there! Mark, Filip and Ali represented the male company for that day, but actually Deirdre, Lene and myself represented the real balls! We tried almost everything that was fast and furious. The guys watched carefully and saw we were ok... ;)

Easy starter, the pirate boat...a classic, isn't it.

Filip and Mark took the dare to enter the ....ooooo teacups!

Were we dizzy afterwards?

I think so...

 

Fi layla min ellayali, we went to the Derwish dances, quite a nice spectacle. For those who don't know it; these are Sufi's who dance until they come in a state of trance and become one with Allah. The show may have been a little shorter, but hey, I'm not complaining, we've got a new and free experience.

 

But then there were exams. No stopping to the fun however. We motivated eachother with watching movies, eating healthy vegetables though followed by chocolat. Time to continue this pattern of delicious food; we're heading back home for Christmas and newyear!

Personally I'm passing as well by Tunisia, bledi, which is a treat from my dear mommy...Don't we love her ?

Tomorrow i'm leaving Cairo for four weeks or so. It has been nice, but time for a break. And i'm totally ready, jihaaaaa!
