Hotel de Normandie

posted by chooker on 12 August 2010 at 15:37

This hotel was spot on for a short break to Bordeaux. It is right on the main sqaure and has an underground car park so if you have hired a car, you can park it there which leaves you with the freedom to enjoy more of the local, delicious red wine! It's nothing glamourous but perfect for city centre location.

Basilica of Saint Michael and Spiral Tower

posted by pkettlewell on 12 August 2010 at 15:01

The Basilica Tower, just 500m south of the Palais Gallien is a flamboyant Gothic church, certainly worth having a look at. Built around the 14th century, the pulpit represents St Michael slaying the dragon and the belfry is 114 metres high offering some of the best views of the city. There are various markets that are held close to the church. There is a clothes market that is held every Monday morning on the square. Two other large markets are held including a quirky antiques one which we really enjoyed.

Ras Mohammed National Park

posted by jevans on 10 August 2010 at 17:47

Ras Mohammed is a national park which is located on the southern tip of the Sinai Peninsula approx. 30km from Sharm El Sheikh. You can either visit Ras Mohamed by road or by sea. We chose to take a boat trip along the coast line and snorkelling in three different areas. We saw the most amazing fish and swam with a shark! I recommend you take some shoes for walking along the rocks to get to the reef can be painful. Bear in mind that you will have to buy a visa on entry to Sharm if you plan on visiting the National Park. Entrance fee is approximately 5 Egyptian Pounds.

Hilton Sharm Waterfalls Resort

posted by jnewton on 10 August 2010 at 17:37

Everything about this hotel made for the most relaxing holiday. The staff were fabulous and willing to help wherever they could. The grounds and rooms were well maintained; cleaned everyday with considerable attention to make you feel well looked after. The food also lived up to this high standard with an abundance of choice and variety. The lovely pools and private beach combined with an energetic and friendly animation team ensured our every need was catered for. The Hilton really did make for a world class holiday.

Diving @ Blue Hole

posted by qrobinson on 10 August 2010 at 17:07

The Blue Hole is one of Egypt's premier deep dive sites. You access it by jeep from Dahab which takes about 30 minutes. From afar it doesnt look like anything special. As the sea floor drops abruptly, the sloping reef makes for an awesome diving experience. Coral and fish swarm over the resulting cliff faces making a very unusual but immensely beautiful environment indeed. If you an experienced diver heading to Sharm I would highly recommend this exhilarating dive site.
