CLEOPATRA RETURNS!

Post by Lillian » Mon Oct 31, 2005 1:25 pm

Hello everybody - hope you are all well :P

Did you miss me as much as I missed you all?

We had a ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC holiday!!!! I'm a bit cream crackered as we arrived home last night at 2.00am - the boys slept for four hours on the plane so they were OK to send to school today. It has just taken me about three hours to read all the forum - you know Miss Nosey Lillie doesn't like to miss anything :wink: You certainly have been busy creating levels - I'll never catch up :o

CONGRATS to Pamster and Fruitybun for winning the competition - one of my favourite levels and it got 10 points from me! Way to go girlies!!!! I am honoured to have come second - thanks to all who voted for me. A big bravo to my bessie mate Kazbag too. Congrats to everyone else, especially Mette for organising it all - it was a pleasure to be a part of the competition!

Eygpt was amazing! 85 degrees every day - not a cloud in the sky! We are brown as berries (anyone wanna see my white bits just drop me a pm :wink: ) Our hotel was 6 star - and was truly beautiful. The Egyptians love children and were very kind to us. The boys made many friends with the waiters, workers there! We spent most days lazing around the pool and snorkling at the sea - the coral and the fish are something else! We had boat trips to islands, coral reefs, etc - then had BBQ's in the evening and boat trips back to our resort in the pitch black! The sun goes down in Egypt at about 5.00pm so it gets dark really early which is kind of weird!

The best part for me was when we went Quad Biking across the desert dressed as Egyptians :D :D :D A truly amazing experience! We must have travelled about ten miles across the bumpy desert - and I mean BUMPY! It was pretty scary in places. I had Ollie sitting in front of me on my bike (no seat belts :o ). Eventually we arrived at a Bedouin camp and rode on camels and had Egyptian tea with them in a tent! Then we had to ride back in the pitch black desert - very scary but really exciting! I thought we would never get there :lol: Excellent fun!

So I would definately recommend it as a holiday to everyone. It is good to be back home though :P I won't have any photo's for a while as we don't have a digi camera, but will try and post some soon.

Take care - Lillie xxx

Welcome back Lillie, glad you had a marvellous time and didn't get swapped for a camel or taken off to be part of a harem. :shock: :lol: :lol:

I don't think I could have coped with all the things you got up to, I would probably still be wandering around the desert now. The snorkelling would be more my cup of tea. Although I did once go snorkelling and forgot to breathe through my mouth and nearly drowned. :shock: :roll:

Congrats on your second place in the contest btw. :D :D

WELCOME BACK, LILLIE!!! The trip sounds absolutely terrific -- so glad you enjoyed it. We all did miss you but it probably won't take long for a "puzzle wizard" like you to catch up.

Now go get ready to take the boys out for HALLOWEEN :!: :!:

Sounds as though you had a wonderful time - so now you should have lots of ideas for new levels.

Start creating.
