Не берите нас на слабо :)) Don't take us lightly :))

Vacation, as always, was planned in February. They were going to fly out on the 13th, but because of the revolution, the trip fell through. We seem to have resigned ourselves to the fact that this time Egypt flies by. February ended calmly, the 23rd came and we gathered at work to celebrate Defender of the Fatherland Day. In the process of celebrating, the guys decided to tease us and hinted that they were opening Egypt and on the 27th there would be the first flight to Sharm. “Is it weak for you, girls, to hit the road to revolutionary Egypt? ” My friend looked at each other and, from each other’s eyes, they realized that it was not weak. We immediately dial the travel agent's phone and order tours and tickets for the first flight. But there was such a full house for the flight that there were not enough tickets for us. They took flight 4413 on the 13th. We joke that if there are more seats in the 13th row, then it means you will be lucky for sure. Friends joke that instead of swimsuits they would take helmets, body armor and a couple of machine guns with spare horns. They tease us so that we no longer offend Arab men (once we had to beat an Arab electrician a little, but that's another story). Relatives are worried, we (to be honest) too. Departure Ukraine International Airlines according to the schedule. We arrived in Sharm early in the morning, arrived at the hotel at about 8 o'clock. The receptionist pleased us with a settlement at 13-00. We catch the guide who brought us, give him a chocolate bar Alenka and ask him to put in a good word for us. We also put Alyonka in the passport and ask us to settle next to the restaurant on the second floor and with a balcony. We get room 558 - all the stated requirements are met and after breakfast we calmly check in. By the way, there are no complaints about the work of the staff. Everything is on the level, with respect and without familiarity. They constantly ask if everything is in order and if there are any claims and wishes. We didn’t see the janitor, he came without us, licked everything and disappeared. Who cares, in the room the safe opens with an ordinary key, a hair dryer of some strange design (more like a vacuum cleaner, but it works properly). No iron, ironing board, kettle or toilet brush. I say this because such questions are often found in hotel reviews. It didn't bother us in the slightest. The hotel is very green, all the houses are in the Arabic style, the walls are thick, so they don’t heat up and we never turned on the air conditioning. The architecture is reminiscent of the Soviet film "Aladdin's Magic Lamp". It seemed that now grandfather would come out with a rattle and say "Everything is calm in Baghdad. " We ran to the beach. Lots of sunbeds, close to each other. But because the hotel rested mainly residents of the UK and Holland, then they all together went crazy around the pools. The Russian-speaking population was three young people from Belarus, the two of us, a couple from Kharkov and a family with children from Moscow. Everything! Everything is cultural, calmly without queues and hustle. In the evening, girls animators (Georgians) approached us, there are also European boys. Invited to participate in shows and daytime aerobics, etc. . But because during the day we are in a sea swim, and in the evening we are also not at the hotel, we did not have a connection with the animation. The restaurant is very cute, not like a canteen. The food is very tasty and everything is fresh. Salads are just awesome - we leaned on them. Fruit is enough. All of them are cut into pieces - it’s convenient for eating, but for those who like to take everything out of the restaurant, it’s not suitable. SEA. . . We did not expect to see coral gardens in Naama Bay, but there are many fish, diverse and weaned from people. When you hang over the reef next to them for a long time, they get used to you, look at you and sometimes bite. On the first day, we explored our part of the bay and the reefs near Gafi Resort. In the morning I ran into a family of squids there, I wanted to take a picture on camera, but it turned out that they see well and swim faster than me : )) Two white moray eels and a moray cub live on the reef between Gafi and ours. Under the pantone there are three stingrays and a lionfish. Every evening we watched a show a meter from the shore - our lionfish and her girlfriends (sometimes up to seven individuals) hunted for a flock of small fish. I took it on camera, going knee-deep into the water and lowering the camera under the water. I shot almost blindly, so it was not always possible to capture everyone in the lens. The next day I decided to swim to Sofitel and further for him. The reef in this direction is already becoming a wall, and not just separate islands. Quite lively and interesting in places. And in the bay right in front of Sofitel, it’s completely good. In a word, there I took my soul away, looking at corals and fish. At some point, I felt with my skin that someone was looking at me, I turn my head to the right and see a hefty thick barracuda literally three meters from me. Approximately 1.3 meters long. At my 1.58, I felt somehow uncomfortable. I was alone in the bay, and although barracuda attacks on people are extremely rare. . . The beauty walked around me in a businesslike way and swam forward. I managed to shoot her on camera and was already glad of her disappearance, as she changed her mind, turned around and at a rather high speed went head-on at me. Squeaking into the phone "mom !!! " I frantically tried to turn on the camera, when there was a meter and a half left before me, it turned to the side and again walked around me in a circle. Apparently she did not like me and she quickly swam away. I wanted to rinse my panties from impressions and return to my hotel. She swam back, looking at the reef and emerging from time to time to control the distance. In one of these dives, I found a boat with a transparent bottom about five meters from me, not just peacefully laid up, but spinning in all directions to show the people the reef islands around. They did not see me at close range, and getting under the propellers of a pleasure boat was not part of my plans. With the speed of an Olympic champion, I rushed into shallow water, since the water was quite high and with my complexion I passed over the reef shell with the ease of a fish. The main thing here is to row only with your hands and not twist your knees. By the way, here in shallow water I met the Nemo family and the brave folder of the family attacked my camera, returned to his wife and children, swam around the perimeter of his house as if reassuring everyone, don’t be afraid, I won’t give offense to you. Then again and again he attacked the Olympus. I just respected him and did not tease and worry. Chased a bright blue trigger. At first I followed him, and then he took overclocking and showed that he was also not a timid one. I thought that the fish in this bay were very greyhound and returned to their water area. The next day, according to the plan, it was necessary to walk to the Hilton beach and find Napoleon there. Early in the morning we hit the road. They did not take into account only that a strong ebb began. Come to their beach. Ten people lie on the whole vast territory and no one bathes. We pull on masks with a businesslike look and resolutely go into the water. People rise with interest on sunbeds and we understand why the water is just icy. Chattering our teeth, we swim to the reef (why did we drag ourselves here in vain? ). Again, disappointment - the water is so low that there is no way to go above the reef to a depth. We circled and circled and returned to the shore. We decided to wait for better times. The next day it started to storm a bit. Visibility worsened, I stopped shooting and just swam. I go ashore and see the entire Russian-speaking women's council of three hotels conferring about something on the beach. The fact is that two maniacs of Arab nationality without bracelets on their hands wound up in our water area, that is, it is impossible to determine their belonging to any hotel and we cannot recognize them without a mask either. Only in shorts : )) Looks like 40-45 years old. One is bald, the other is hairy and in bright red shorts almost to the knee. The men were amused by the fact that they swam up to lonely bathers and pawed them (sorry for being direct). God has been kind to me. I was descending from the pontoon, and one of them rushed to me supposedly to help, but I barked at him so much that he jumped back, looked carefully and stated - can a strict Russian lady be a teacher? I didn’t enter into a discussion and with an angry look went into the depths. After a couple of days, I decided to visit the barracuda, but go to Sofitel on foot. The water was low and I wandered alone under the rocks knee-deep in water. Went around the corner, the hotel is not visible and me from the beach too. A deserted shore. The private beach is always empty. Suddenly I hear someone splashing on the water behind me, I turned around and I see the same one (bald). He catches up and tries to start a conversation, glances at the shore, I followed his gaze - the second one (in red shorts) joyfully rises from a sunbed on a private beach. Well, I think early on you Lenochka was delighted with her untouchedness. There are two of them, no one around. But! They are without masks, and I am with a mask! I quickly pulled the mask over my face and rushed through the reef to the depth with good speed. A dolphin and a mermaid are not a couple, not a couple : )) Everyone here asks me if there were sharks there. I answer, there, even without sharks, it was because of what to look around. But there were no sharks! The next day a light storm began. All the water was mixed with sand. Nothing is visible at arm's length. You swim in blue milk, suddenly a reef appears right in front of you, plus the wave throws decently. We returned to Gafi Beach and frolicked on the waves there until the evening. In the evening we sit in Naama in our favorite restaurant, we eat grilled shrimp in garlic sauce, when a crowd of Arabs comes down, something is noisy. We are interested in what is there, and they tell us - Revolution! We-Like a revolution??? Shrimp stuck in the throat : )) We are reassured that they just came from television and discuss with everyone the revolution and its consequences for tourism. Could you give us an interview? So we got on the Nill-TV channel. We were asked to tell if we like it here, if we feel safe. We honestly confessed our love for Sharma, praised the hotels and the sea. And then the guys casually translate the conversation to the absence of Russian tourists in Egypt. They ask if the Russians really fell out of love with the Red Sea. We say: no, they love. Then, they say, tell the camera that ordinary people want to go to Egypt, and such and such a government does not let them come to us. To which we replied that we would not interfere in the politics of another state and would not discuss the government either. The guys got upset and left. I would like to note that the city is half empty. It's wild to see an empty old city, an empty Naama. We walked along the promenade from beginning to end and about ten people came across the meeting. Nonsense! Arabs shout: Ukraine! Russia ! We love you! Come! And everyone asks, when will the Russians arrive? To which we noticed that you didn’t like that the Russians drink a lot of vodka. And in response to us, let them drink, if they like it, just let them come! . . The next day we stubbornly went to the Hilton and still met Napoleon there. Filmed it until the camera turned off. The water sort of seeped in. There was nothing else to shoot. I really hope that the memory card was not damaged. If "no", then there will be videos on the site, and if - "yes", then all this will remain in my memory forever! Bright blue cloudless sky, yellow sand and SEA ,, , SEA ,, , SEA ,, ,
