14th April An afternoon on the beach

 

We got back from El Alamein at around 2pm and at a cost of 350 LE (£35) for the driver. After a drink we headed for the beach. Me to read and Maddy and Geoff to swim, snorkel and build a sandcastle/pyramid. The water was rather cold – not like the Red Sea.

 

Part way through the afternoon we had a ladybird infestation.

And then they built a sand pyramid . At times it did seem as though Geoff was more interested in the project than Maddison, but they finished it at last and then the sea tried to fill the moat.

In the evening we had dinner in the hotel. Excellent – in fact so good we had dinner there the following evening as well.
