Hurghada - Land of Russians and loud beach music
... and double cupping to prevent me burning my hands whilst conspiratorally pointing at Dan's single cup and shaking his head. Tall blonde giant women are scarce in Egypt hence Dan has received quite a few camel offers, thumbs up and "lucky man" comments to which I reply" yes he is...." Arriving at night, Hurghada looks like a proper resort town abundant with tacky shops, tacky restaurants and tacky hotels. It is overrun by Russians. Our hotel is the Thomson ...
