DAY 160 - SHARM EL SHEIKH DAY 1


CRAZYJOURNEY FOAM PARTY!

Tomo, Fintan and Rhys at the foam party in Pacha

With black mud coming out of the shower this morning, Dave and Fintan decided enough was enough with this hellhole and left Rhys, Tom and Chuck to go and find better accommodation. We had done a bit of research and found out that Pacha, one of the best nightclubs in the world, had a venue in Sharm El Sheikh so we planned to find accommodation as close to there as possible. Luckily enough, there was a perfect spot in the form of the Camel Hotel only 2 doors down. TOO EASY!

We spent the evening wandering around the strip at Nama Bay, one of the many bays on Sharm’s coast. Although Sharm still has the package holiday feel, it is certainly more well kept and actually offers some of the best scuba diving in the world. Rhys took advantage of this by going on a night dive. Meanwhile we went to dinner at Bhudda Bar for an amazing sushi feed with Dave getting along famously with the young Russian waitress.

We all reconvened at our hotel for some warm ups before heading into Pacha for an absolutely mad night. It turned out that tonight was foam party night so half the nightclub bailed into what can only be described as a foam cauldron of lust and swimming pool for crazy night of antics. Thinking the foam would somehow cushion our falls, we were up on each others shoulders and diving around the place only to wreck ourselves on the concrete floor!


Rhys and Tom get involved!

During the night there were also reported sightings of an abominable foam-man lurking around the club, with Tomo even managing to catch a photo of the beast himself! The craic was absolutely mighty and ended in the wee hours of the morning!
