Enjoyed our October visit to the Red Sea Riviera again over the the last couple of weeks.
As always, it was the Hyatt Regency hotel, and the weather the usual warm light breeze and non-stop sun.
Son Paul and family had a week there before us, and we caught the last three days of their vacation, enjoying time with the grandkids before having only ourselves to think about for the rest of the fortnight.
The Red Sea was flat calm and sparkling clear around the coral reef, and snorkeling was terrific with a bigger variety of fish than usual. As we are now regular visitors, we got a great welcome from all the staff, and a nice prezzie from the front desk team.
Pics below show Lauren, Dan & Jake by the layered pool, a group of camels up at St. Catherine’s Monastery in the desert, a row of “retail outlets” up near the Monastery, myself snorkeling off the reef and an elegant lady who was obviously not into snorkeling !
Can’t wait for our return family visit next spring !
