Egypt, The Charming Sharm

In my last blog, I mentioned a recent trip to Egypt. I thought it would only be fair if I shared with you guys some amazing moments i managed to capture! Enjoy.
WAIT
But first, lemme share with you the books I took along with me.(You didn't honestly think it'd just be about my holiday!)
1. These broken stars by Amie Kaufman and Meagan Spooner
2. The language of flowers by Vanessa Diffenbaugh
3. We can be heroes by Catherine Burton
4. Girl Online (review is up!)
Expect reviews soon guys. Finally, enjoy!



 The resort itself was amazing! It was all inclusive so it seemed like everything was free WHOOOP DRINKS ALL DAY
Stone baked pizza, chips and burgers by the heated pool all day. Cold ice drinks and ice cream (only available between 11 and 1!)
We rarely made it to the dinner hall for lunch we were so full. Breakfast was good and dinner was even better.
It was quite simply, the dream. The people were very friendly and the temperature was 24 degrees, in WINTER!



Firstly,there was a gingerbread house in the lobby. Secondly, there was a ginger bread house in the lobby. AN EDIBLE GINGERBREAD HOUSE. My brothers and I had a blast scraping all the icing off quickly before we were caught and labelled 'homeless'. The whole lobby smelt of that aromatic delectable aroma. DEELISH! (although god knows how many days it had been there)


It was a needed relaxing holiday. The beach was perfect! We tried so many different things. Scuba diving, para sailing, snorkeling, quad biking etc. It was a flawless holiday, a place where I would definitely travel to again. The 6 hour flight with the heavy turbulence was worth it! Reading a book and drinking fresh mango smoothies was bliss. Add in a hookah pipe for a bit of flavor and there you have it guys, Charming Sharm.

 This picture was taken when we went speed boating. I got to drive the speedboat! I'm surprised everyone is still alive. I'm definite I made a mistake if the panic in the actual drivers voice is anything to go by after I turned the steering wheel (I was trying to get a feel for the whole sailor thing) Turns out all i had to do was sit there. I had to get off after that fml.
The red sea was enchanting. I couldnt stop taking pictures!

 Zabagad island was beautiful. We managed to collect many shells and had several sandcastle competitions. (I lost to my 12 year old brother multiple times. I don't even know how) We also went snorkelling from here. The underwater fishes were out of this world.
This last picture is amazing. A drunk Russian sailor crashed his ship after one too many. This wreckage is shown to the tourists who are travelling on the red sea. 
I hope you enjoyed my stay in Egypt. More soon. 
Read on guys, read on.
