Today, Martin learned how to make a voice message to all his photos. And he did. Then he went on a City Tour as he did in 2004.

To the left, the view from Martin's room. This time he lived in the new wing of the hotel. With a lift.

To the right, the rubbish view from the balcony.

The room seen from the balcony, some 2 square meters.

Martin having breakfast as he did last time he was here.

The back alley to the Empire Trenton Hotel, part of the same group.

The pool, not to good to swim in. Only 15 meters accross.

The roof over the conference hall. As long as it doesn't rain, it's OK.

The Swedish tour guide doing her tricks.

The street of Empire Inn Hotel.

Martin was taken for a ride by a guy selling spices. Paid LE 15,- for a beer. Same price in the hotel.

The other roof. Picture taken from the top of the hotel. Here you can listen to the jalla songs for prayers. (You have to use WinAmp. Windows doesn't work.)

Local salesmen outside the Empire Triton hotel. Same junk everywhere.

The main mosque in Hurgadha. Been there, done that seen it before.

Martin relaxing outside the mosque.

Lovely, knowledgeable Nils and his grumpy wife Gerd.

Unfinished buildings in the outskirts of Hurghada. Not nice.

The super perfume shop. Martin has bought perfume there before.

Suren and Martin in the mirror, taking the picture.

Perfume for millions. Not worth it.

The name of the owner. A big, fat, unpleasant and unsmiling Egyptian. Not a nice guy.

The local construction workers have a rough time, just finding places to sleep. The Egyptians know how to treat migrant workers. Not like stupid Norway, where they get on the dole a soon they come into the country. And rubbish everywhere.

The minarets towards they evening sky.

Martin relaxing alone in the bus with just a smoking driver as company.

Hanne, Finish tour guide, not married to Lot.

Time for water pipes. Martin doesn't smoke and didn't try.

These to birds did. They are Anne-Lise og Jorunn.

     

The next day, Saturday October 18th, Martin went on snorkelling trip with the Swedish guy with the most Norwegian names of all, Ola,
