Despite the cold winter this year, today has been lovely....

Very little wind right now, lovely sunshine, calm and clear sea !

Went for a long snorkel this morning and had a flock of 9 flamingos on the beach just before the flood channel. Beautiful site ! Especially seeing them when they flew off ! Wow !

Was sad when I missed the flock of 11 flamingos that were seen by my guests just over a week ago.... but today was superb !

Lovely pictures Swiss. Much appreciation for your posting them. Just makes you want to be in Egypt really. What's the camel walking on, its probably just me but it looks like part of a crazy golf pitch???

Crazy golf pitch? :lol:

There's only one thing that's crazy at Swisscare. Sometimes it's in Cairo, sometimes snorkelling....

Rather be crazy and at Nuweiba... especially with the weather we had today !

Anyway... Black Iris's twin sister it seems is her twin brother... and he is called the Guido...

Surely you can t be serious Carrot ! Who would be daft enough to do that in Nuweiba ? Would be like someone, upon entering heaven, asking to be moved to hell ! :lol:
