The 2012 holiday season started unusually early for us, with a one-week break on the Red Sea (also unusual, as we normally go for two weeks) along with daughter Sara & son John and their families, making a family party of ten. For the first time ever on the Red Sea, we started with a couple of breezy, overcast days, although we were still out round the pool on the loungers, as the temperature was still in the middle 20s.. The rest of the week was back to normal, as the breeze dropped and the sun returned.
This was the first visit to the Royal Albatros Moderna for John and his family, and I was particularly keen to find out how granddaughters Katie and Amy would enjoy the Water Park and other facilities there. Because of the time of year and subsequent water temperature, both were kitted out with wet suits, so were able to fully enjoy the water park without feelilng chilled.
Everyone had a great time, and as usual Madge and I picked up a good tan and, inevitably after an all-inclusive holiday, a few pounds in weight !
Pics below show Madge relaxing by the pool, Amy and Katie in their shades, and a shot of the resort at night taken from the restaurant balcony.
