Living and Diving in Sharm el Sheikh
So another day at the beach! But… all is certainly not lost. I have had a bit of a business meeting… I must say, I can’t imagine a better location! Certainly a far cry from the usual UK stuff. Anyway, I digress. Basically as people start to trickle back into the Sinai for their holidays, the social scene is once again beginning to pick up and, as luck would have it, one of my fellow instructors is also a dancer, so thinking I should make the most of all my abilities, I thought I would have a little chat. Apparently, they do indeed need a dancer, and I start on Friday! Of course I may not prove to be quite what they are looking for, but, hey chances are I will be OK, and it will certainly help me out a touch. I guess Friday will be my audition, so fingers crossed, and I shall let you know how it all goes.
Well, it has again been a strange week or so here in Sharm, after the devastation of last Friday night’s bombs we have been doing our best to get things back to normal.
Several of our instructors whilst not caught up in the blast itself, had found themselves first on the scene and dealing with the worst of situations imaginable… Tales akin to those experienced by some of the Tsunami survivors have trickled through, with people doing what they could to keep the injured comfortable using their own cars to take them to the hospital when there were just simply not enough ambulances to go round. Many instructors even helped out in the hospital itself.
Thanks go to those who were there doing what they could to help the victims, and prayers to the families of those affected by this disaster.
This is certainly going to be a tough time for all concerned, aside from the devastating injuries and bereavements endured many businesses too have been wiped out. I guess time will be the healer for all concerned here.
