alan bechard Posted July 5, 2006 Report Share Posted July 5, 2006 Mind how you go is about right from my point of view as well Andy. However, I must say, for shear FEAR factor, or adreneline rush, Cairo Cab ride has to be right up near the top. I have heard Korea is better but have not tested the comparison. Midnight bus to Sharm El Sheik (Sinai) for some excellent Scuba time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ham2 Posted July 6, 2006 Report Share Posted July 6, 2006 Midnight bus to Sharm El Sheik (Sinai) for some excellent Scuba time At the risk of sounding like a negative pussy ..Sharm El Sheik is a very soft target for the terrorists,it has a poor security record. I think the most recent attack on westerners there involved a 'left luggage' type bomb... not even a suicide bomber required. I think I'll sign off now..I'm depressing myself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alan bechard Posted July 6, 2006 Report Share Posted July 6, 2006 Probably right, sitting here thinking and I was there in 85,,,,,, been a little bit. Most folks tended to keep their distance from the group I ran around with there. The diving is great though. Rated by Jaques Cousteau (sp) as the second best dive spot in the world at one point.

Andy Posted July 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2006 Well the trip was slightly changed and I'm currently sat in a hotel in.... Kuwait Temperature was 46C when I got here - at 6:30 last night. God knows how the troops working just across the border in Iraq put up with those kind of temperatures especially in body armour etc. Went for a little wander round the compound (yes, security is that tight) about 10pm last night and even then the wall of heat that hits you as you step outside is unbearable. Upside - air conditioning and free broadband Downside - It's a dry country. No beer On to Cairo tomorrow. They have beer there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bikespace Posted July 18, 2006 Report Share Posted July 18, 2006 Kuwait wasn't dry when we were there. You sure you've not been kidnapped and taken somewhere else Did they give you orange overalls and a free haircut? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
