Shisha place is near the Casa Pesto now! It's moved again then - in the summer it was over by the perimeter fence just past the Abou Lou Lou. Perehaps it's been put somewhere more sheltered for the 'winter'...

Well hopefully it will move back to under the pool bar in time then!!

New Year celebrations this year were held in a massive tent on the beach next to Abu Lou Lou.

Seeing as you're the only one that knows where I live and been here, what games do you want to play?

I would have asked what music you want playing, but I know that already

Ev, I saw that album knocked down to a fiver in the Virgin store if you need one...

Still overpriced.

Going OT here, so...

Wendy is on her way. She's staying at HSB with Nour tonight (not literally), then transferring to the Coral tomorrow afternoon after seeing Sherif N to catch up on things and see how he is now.

Hi all

Just booked to go back to the coral after a 2 year absence, yes I know, shame on us!

We'll be there for 2 weeks from 27th May. It will be interesting to see some of the changes people have been mentioning. Does anyone think it's worthwhile emailing ahead (as we did last time) to see if we can get an upgrade?

Cheers

You are unlikely to get an upgrade unless you pay for it!!

We had two weeks there over Xmas and have a fab time though.

We've been put in one of the ground floor superior rooms a couple of times when they realised we'd been before.
Didn't need to ask...

They have stopped doing that now though Alan. They are focussing on being a money making business apparently.

Wendy's there at the moment. She's in a superior, having paid for just a normal room.

There's a "tented" changing room as you walk onto the beach. There's a "smart new towel hut" as Wendy said. Water gym is being done in the sea at the moment.

Temperature was 8C in Russels room at 8am yesterday - what Wendy was doing in his room at 8am I've yet to find out.
It's been windy and chilly at times. Yesterday was the first time she caught the sun in 5 days.

8 degrees - hope that was inside and not outside the room !!

Hope it warms up a fair bit by end Feb

You can see some of the changes HERE.

It shows the changing tents, Kamel's new hut and the windbreaks.

By the way, the boy playing with Kamel is our grandson, Alex.

the windbreaks look as if they will do the job!!

Just an update

Room upgrades are still being given - when available

When we saw Zaki the day before he left on vacation in November he was fine, but nobody has heard from him since. They were expecting him back, but he can't be contacted at all. They are all worried about him, and Yasmeen is missing him terribly.

Regarding the new rules for the Russians, they seem to be working. They are being very quiet and polite, no drunkeness and actually speak to you and like to tell you politely that they are Russian.
