So, sometime last week ( - the heat seems to melt away what little sense of time I`ve had - ) my new collegue and I decited we had to get out of Madinat Makadi aka tourist town and visit the "real world" for once.
So we took the shuttle bus to Hurghada after work.
Can anyone say "tourist trap"?
We were dropped off on the main road with two hours to spend before returning to Makadi. Turned out the main road consists of shops selling t-shirts, perfume, cheap jewellery and/or other souvenirs specially designed for tourists only intermitted by several pharmacies...
There was a highlight though. Check out the amazing trees we found by the roadside:
100% plastic, I promise.
But al least we were "successful". My bounty:
a pretty bracelet
(Black of course. Really, what have you expected?)
some mango tea
(I have yet to try it, but I was told it`s made of the leaves of mango trees and it smells fantastic)
2 pieces of purmice
(for cosmetic reasons only girls can understand)
a shoulder bag
(which has an amazing purple colour)
and something I was told is rosemary`
(You`re supposed to put it into a bowl of water to scent the room. And while it does smell really nice, it doesn`t look or smell like any rosemary I have ever known.)
Ok, enough about Hurghada.
See you later, bye bye.
