Ruth & James

We have just arrived in Cairo after two amazing weeks at Moonbeach near Ras Sudr. Ruth is now able to stand on a board and do both tacks and gybes! James is strapped onto the board and sail, planing along at some speed. It was a truely wonderful two weeks and we are hoping to return again next year ( hint – if anyone fancies a couple of idylic weeks on the beach in May let us know ). Below are a few pictures from our time there. We couldn’t upload any from the bar – something must have been wrong with the camera ‘cus they were all out of focus!

Thanks to Greg for getting Ruth Gybing with style!!

Bedouin night in the desert.

Wadi Walk up a mountain to watch the sunset over Moonbeach with a beer.

We’ll hopefully post some more pictures and news after we visit the pyramids before we leave for Bangkok.

After three very chilled days and nights in Luxor, were now on our Nile Cruise. It’s simply amazing! The food is phenomenal – no more dieting for us, last night was a seven course meal!

Today was our first early start with a trip to the Valley of the Kings. We went in five tombs in total, including Tutankhamun. Our guide is brilliant, very informative and funny.

Last night before dinner we went to Luxor Museum and Karnak Temples. Everything is just so amazing! Tonight we’re off to the Temple of Denderra before our next seven course meal!!

Will try and upload some photo’s later. Hope everyone is well.

A very happy Mr & Mrs Byrne xx
