Winter Sun, Sea and Wind - Mer, Soleil, Vent d'hiver

So I'm thinking about getting some winter sun before the skiing season kicks in. Having been introduced to Egypt many years ago, it has become a regular destination and I love the place.
Up north in Cairo you get the feel of the bussling mayhem of the city, mid country at Aswaan and the Nile you delve into the farming working way of life, horseriding and beautiful lush countryside, down south you get the tourist (inevitably in their flocks but fortunately concentrated into luxury resorts!), the desert and the Bedouins, and the beautiful ocean with warm waters, deep sea diving and kitesurfing.

In the meantime, Europe's trees are shedding their leaves either from heavy wind and rain or the first crisp frosts. Temperatures plummet and our mountains become snow-capped and eventually are disguised under a thick blanket of winter-white.

Food for thought.

Kite Junkies (www.kitejunkies.com), Nabq Bay 10 mins from Sharm el Sheikh airport offers great packages and Ozone kites, tuition, rental etc... in a fantastic bay blowing cross-onshore every day :-)
check them out on Facebook or on their website for live-cam on conditions and then book a cheapie-cheapie with easyjet to Sharm to maintain your fitness level and have some darned good fun.
