    No issues here, another lovely, if not windy, sunny day. The sun is just setting over the mountains in front of me now. Everyone has had a good day, the four children have been whatsapping the Guardian as it was asking for stories of woe to say we are having a fab time and potential terrorist acts won't spoil our holiday as we are British and made of sterner stuff.

    The Guardian had the good humour to msg them back wishing us a happy holiday.

    Easy jet have confirmed that our Saturday flights are unaffected so the holiday continues. Might book again for June as bound to get a great price now, crisis is just another word for opportunity.

    Beer is £2:45 a pint and I have been using my travelex supercard so getting great value for money.

    It's funny, I know a lot of people will be put off visiting Egypt after this but all the coverage is really making me want to book a holiday to Sharm El Sheikh...from what I've seen on the news it looks lovely :rotfl:

    Our flight today was cancelled at about ten pm last night. Don't expect another until Monday at the earliest but more likely mid week. Enjoying some extra sunshine!

    Don't drink the filthy stuff and the cooker is electric! Everything is off and have the nosey neighbours keeping an eye on the place.

    Sharm is like a ghost town, restaurants have started to shut, those that remain are not leaving their AI resorts. The actual police checkpoints are now policed by the army and are actually stopping cars.

    Still sunny, still having a good time. We have just been featured on Egyptian tv news as a good news storey after a tweet we sent out about us enjoying our extended stay and how terrorists won't spoil our holiday.
