Martin T had pleasant and easy going trip to Egypt during
the period above. This is Martin's third trip to Egypt, the first one was in
March - April 2005
and the second visit was the same year
during December with his daughter Tanya, sister Jorunn and brother-in-law
Kjell. |
Want some facts of Egypt? Have a look at
The World Fact book
from CIA for more.
|
To the left have a look at how
the Egypt is situated in relation to Africa. To the
right, where Hurghada, our starting point is situated in Egypt. In Arabic, it's called
Al Ghardaqah. . |
|
|
A detailed map of Hurghada. We stayed at Impire
Inn, the same hotel as Martin stayed at in during his
first
visit in 2005. |
|
DEPARTURE
Arrival time at Oslo Gardemoen Airport
at 0803. And boarding the plane
at 1100 and actually, the plane started moving at 1130, 65 minutes after
scheduled departure time.

|
Early in the morning, waiting for the trusted Limousine
Service from downstairs, Martin notices that his neighbor is up and running
at 0525. Martin gets a lift to the railway station. This is
Freddy's lovely Volvo. He is on route to Hamburg in Germany, exactly 500
kilometers, not counting the ferry from Larvik to Hirtshals. |
|
|
To the left, Oslo Airport was very busy this Thursday for
some reason. To the right, Martin did overdress. It wasn't
that cold as expected. |
|
|
Røros Flyservice, what does it do at Gardermoen?
Landed in Egypt with Sonja Henie from Norwegian. |
|
|
Air-Berlin was there as well. What
characterizes Hurgada is the queues for ever. First to get the visa. Just to
bleed the tourists for some extra cash, and then the passport control. |
|
|
Martin documented that his rucksack was on the bus before
the departure. Bus no 1, mind you. Nothing less. |
|
|
Smokers use every opportunity to get a puff and some
poisonous nicotine down into their lungs. |
|
The next day, Friday, October 17, it
was time for some beer shopping. You see the map
above.
