Egypt

Well I have returned today from my holiday in Egypt. It was a nice break but there was some bad sides as well. The hotel was nice and clean and the staff were very friendly but the food was quite poor for a 4 star property. Don't get me wrong we had stuff to eat but it was very repetitive and quite often you could tell they had used leftovers from the previous meal. My boyfriend also got a dicky tummy on the 2nd day and had the sh*ts all holiday so he didn't enjoy it alot. The weather was really hot obviously! got a nice tan too. We did get harassed a lot by the local people wanting us to go in their shops, one guy even told us to 'come and have a look at my rubbish' and then people asking for tips all the time. The room cleaner came and knocked on the door in the afternoon and asked if we were happy with the room and then was expecting a tip, a man at the airport lift my suitcase on to a conveyor belt and then put his hand out. I man pressed the button in the lift for me and wanted a tip. Don't get me wrong I'm not tight, I will happily give people a tip for a good service but not for things like this. If I had good service in a restaurant or something like this then I would happily tip.

While I was there I was sat on the beach and thinking more about this thought I have had in the past about bringing a kind of 24/7 prayer concept to Coventry clubbers. Since Hope08 was introduced I have thought it would be more feasible seeing as a lot of the churches are working together more. I feel I have been encouraged to come home and get it sorted. God was planting thoughts in my head about how amazing it would be, what kind of reaction would we get, how many people could we pray for? So I am going to get stuck in.

we also went quad biking in Egypt, once I get my camera wire sorted I will add a photo. Me on a quad with a massive authentic head scarf on!
