My first TB Meet-up! Since I took a lot of pics I splitted this blog into three parts.
And I did not want to break down the TB server so all pictures were being scaled down a little bit. If anybody is interested in a special pic I will send it to her/him in its original size.
See ya again somewhere someday!

Hurghada, Egypt -› -› ...
This was a package tour with my wife and children. We chose Hurghada because we were looking for air and sea temperatures above 20 degrees Celsius. And, of course, because of the fascinating underwater world.
Since our children are still quite young (3 and 1 year old) we did not make any of the looong and exhausting bus trips to archaeological sites like Luxor or Giza (eg-Gīza).
