Anderson is always uptight about spending time lazying around on the other hand I really cherish this since in Ibadan we never have get this opportunity, all the same we had to plan our four days.
First day after our arrival from Luxor by bus - 4 hours drive with only one stop in a convoy of like 60 cars (both small and big buses). To our relieve the stop, had more than one toilets and of course had to pay 1 Egyptian pound to go to the toilet. We arrived at the Grand Seas Hotel at noon, checked in and had a nap to recover from the trip. Woke up at about 3pm and were eager to venture into Harghada. We went round the hotel to get our bearings right, check what things to do, the temperatures of the waters both at the swimming pool and at the Red Sea. After the walk, we went for dinner and there was music by two musicians and belly dancers organised by the hotel. Music was good and we ended up spending most of the evening there.
On the second day - Anderson had set the clock the previous night for 9.30am to ensure we did not miss breakfast his normal absent mind about sleep he set the clock one hour ahead woke up for a jog for 30 minutes by the Red Sea, on time for breakfast . After that, we lazied around, played volley ball, Anderson went for a massage (wanted a woman massager but was so unlucky he got a man to do it). In the evening we were ready for a night out, we went to the city of Harghada to have a peep on the night life in Harghada.
On the third day, we planed to go for deep sea diving and snookering. the Gods conspired other wise we woke up to find very strong winds and it was dangerous to go to the sea. We reluctantly went back to the hotel and scheduled to leave again on the Fourth day. In the afternoon we went to the swimming pool and whalaaaa i can finally open my eyes under the water to swim ("improvements in the house"), we played volley ball ( both got hurt on the right leg toes). and then a 30 mins Jog in the evening before taking a cab to the city of Hargada for dinner and travel pod update
Fourth day - we go down to the sea for our diving adventure. Mohammed who is our diving instractor takes us through an intoduction course and we are ready for the dives. Anderson dives for the first time and stays in the water for more than 40 minutes (broken the family record). I dive but only for a metre. Get to see Dolphins at a very close range - Anderson swims with them - what an experince!
