we went to Alex to finish our Eqypt experience relaxing on the beach like the Egyptians do... however we found that they don't quite enjoy the beach the same way we do at home! Everyone sitting on plastic chairs, crammed into the closest few metres from the sea, while there is plenty of open sand just begging to be lay on!

we wandered the streets a bit soaking up the atmosphere, with the place kicking off more at night. finding an instant street party as a promotion for a phone shop in the night markets was ace... pretty sure Tarn was filmed for local telly as she danced away, mesmerised by the colourful inflatable back up dancers and pumping music - rock star!
