12th to 15th Day in Sharm

1st of January, we were all very lazy and tired after the late night. Basically we stayed by the pool and had our breakfast, lunch and dinner in the house that day.

On the 13th day in Sharm, we were all ready to do some activity again.

Peter told Abdallah to wash the boat and get it prepare so we could go and take a boat ride in the sea.





Later that afternoon we had our lunch quickly and the driver was waiting for us and was ready to take us to the marina where the boat was. We took a ride out into the sea.

I was a little scared as the boat was going very fast so I hold on tight. Typical me who doesn't like speed that much. Everyone was enjoying the speed except me.


Gianni is much more cooler enjoying the breeze.

Peter take the first wheel and he is teaching all our girls later how to take over the wheel.

Elrener is very confident with herself.

Beautiful big happy smile from my very good buddy Sarah.

Vel is also taking over the wheel and learning to navigate the boat with daddy assistant.


The end of boat ride.


After the boat ride, we sat by the bar on the beach and take a glass of beer. It was a nice holiday with different activities daily.

On the 14th day we just play around by the pool.The weather turn around again and the sun is up and the the sky is blue with no single cloud.







Later in the evening, we take a walk in Old Sharm and we had our dinner in Hard Rock Cafe.
It was the last night for Sarah and Gianni as they are leaving tomorrow to Cairo as Sarah will start working again on Saturday.

We bought a kite for Gabriel so on the 15th day here in Sharm he played the kite by the pool.


The wind is just nice for the kite to fly really high.

We are saying goodbye to Sarah and Gianni as they are leaving back home to Cairo.
Now it is only left us here.


During lunch we were shocked to see the food that they had prepared only for us 5 people. Obviously, Gabriel fainted when he saw so much food only for us.


How can we eat so much for 2 adult and 2 tiny skinny girls and a small boy?


Here it is Gabriel fainted to see so much food that he have to eat.

Done with food, back to the playing time by the pool again while they push the trolley of food back to the house.

10th and 11th Day in Sharm

Sarah arrived in the morning of 30th December 2007. Gianni woke up early to get her at the airport by 8am.



The weather that day was not so fantastic, very cloudy and windy. We stayed by the pool for a while, then we went down to the bridge to feed fishes.



While we are feeding the fishes, Gabriel drop his slipper in the sea. Unfortunately, Peter had not his swimming pants with him, so Gianni jump into the sea to get his slipper.

Here he goes.....

He got it!!! Yippi.

On 31st December during the day, Peter ordered 2 diving tank and we decided to learnt to practice diving in the pool.

Gabriel went into the 7 meter deep to see his daddy diving. He is indeed very brave to have just learnt how to swim by himself yesterday and today he went into the deep by himself.


While Gabriel see from the top, I went into the house to take a look from inside the house.









Elrener goes in next to dive with his dad, but somehow she is too light that she hardly get herself to sink down.






Elrener took the first dive, then followed by myself, Veldiner and Sarah.


After diving, we had lunch and by the late afternoon, we took a walk in the old town


It was beautiful in old Sharm with the waterfall. We sat there for an hr for a drink before we head back home to prepare ourself for the New Year dinner.




The kids had one kitten each while we are sitting at the cafe. The kitten were only 50 days old.

10 o'clock that evening, when we entered the Villa, everywhere was cosy decorated with very dim light and candles everywhere.

We gathered together in the main Villa with all our friends to have nice wonderful dinner.


Gabriel was swing by Vesa and Rino.





Elle and Vel had a nice private cosy table next to us by themselves.



Gabriel were sitting with the rest of the 8 Adult on the round table.

Here we took couple photo during the dinner.

Gabriella and Vesa

Gabriel ate his dinner very fast and quickly so he could run into the game room again to play.

20 mins before midnight we went upstair to the pool side to make our toast for the New Year.

When we arrived, the staff on a loud music and Gabriel started dancing for everyone.



It was an entertaiment and everyone gave him a big round of applauce.




Few mins before midnight to the year 2008, Gianni is pouring everyone a glass of Champange.




We toast and wishing everyone A Happy and Wonderful New Year.



Vel and Elle gave a toast to everyone too that night.


Everyone is waiting quietly as Vesa called Sheikh Bakr that night so we could shout from the background to wish him a Happy New Year and also to thank him for allowing to make our holiday a wonderful one here in his Wonderful Grand Private Villa.

Unfortunately he was already asleep that night as it is already 1am in Saudi.

Later we dance to a slow dance by Celine Dion where everyone was dancing with their partner.


With the cold breeze, nice music and lovely view we dance the night.



The night ended for Gabriel as it is very late and the girls took him home while the rest of us sat by the pool side and we chat till late morning.





HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL AND MAY THE YEAR 2008 BE A WONDERFUL YEAR FOR EVERYONE.
