At the Marriott

We have moved out of our flat today, people have been visiting over the past few days to collect the bits and pieces they needed. Today was the final push so we gave a second load to the church, the tv went to an orphanage and my Matron Tara from school came and took all she could towards her daughters wedding. With an Egyptian wedding the woman buys all the household items and the man the electricals. Mohamed the Bahweeb got quite a few items as well so the house was empty by the time the landlord turned up.
To be closer to the airport and avoid the demonstrations we are at the J W Marriott. I made a small mistake of sorts with the booking and we are in an executive room with access to the executive lounge. Here they provide us with free drinks and snacks. The term snacks should be applied quite loosely as there is a continual buffet all day and a complimentary breakfast included so we had dinner in there and found the patisserie to top up with.
Outside there are the obligatory swimming pools and a beach area and a golf course. People can pay 150 le to stay for the day and use facilities.
