My Spring Break from school didn't start until April 25th! Probably the latest Spring Break in history.
We planned a 6 day, 5 night trip to Gouna. Gouna is a small resort town in Egypt set along on the Red Sea home to 17 hotels. It was the perfect place for us to escape to and be able to really let off some stress and get refreshed enough to finish off the school year.
We stayed at the Steigenberger Golf Resort.
We woke up and had a cup of coffee on our little room patio, with this view.
We spent our days laying out enjoying the sun and sea.
And our evenings taking a tuc tuc into town and eating a nice dinner and then hanging out with shisha and good conversation....and some Monopoly Deal!
On my birthday we took a boat out to Mahmya Island (pronounced mok-may-uh) to spend the day. There was a nice sandy beach there and we had our own little beach cabana of sorts. And for dinner we went to a delicious Italian restaurant owned and run by an Italian couple. It was absolutely delicious, but we are terrible at taking pictures of food....we get too excited when it comes and just dig in! Then remember the picture after we finish. Oops.
And the hotel sent me a surprise birthday cake when we returned from the island! .......with a trick candle!!!!!! At least they have a sense of humor!
It really did prove to be a very relaxing refreshed break away from the Cairo chaos.
