The camel-trek dives

Times are busy at the moment. Despite confessing to, in fact, openly bragging about being a 'slacker student', I have somehow found myself on a 12-day stretch of working, as I spent my weekend learning how to restrain angry teenagers (admittedly with a nice early finish on Saturday for the FA cup final). On top of this though, Chew and I have been busy making preparations for our World-cup weekend in Frankfurt for England's opening game against Paraguay, and have booked a hostel directly on the other side of the river to the 15000 capacity official FIFA fan's park (with a big-screen floating in the river). OK, so we're going all the way to Frankfurt and don't have tickets for the actual game, but I'm hoping the park will be worth it.

Also, over the last four or five days I have been very busy making some exciting arrangements for the return of Breakout, and have secured Thursday 15th June at the Fez Club. We are in the process of booking a 'big name' DJ, and will make an announcement in due course. It is on the same evening as the England vs. Trinidad game (5pm kick off), so if any of the London lot (or anyone else for that matter) fancies coming to Bristol to watch the game, followed up with a cracking night of drum'n'bass, you're all welcome!

Meanwhile, I will continue to milk my Egypt holiday for all it's worth and put up some pictures from the 2-hour camel trek that Sam, Ben and I took to a National Park dive-site, with the catchy title of 'Gabr Al Bent'.

The end of the road - Camel's finishing their breakfast.

Looking good

We'd heard stories of camels being knocked down by waves en route, thankfully ours held firm.

Ben's camel kept stopping to eat anything that looked remotely edible, causing them to fall some way behind.

Our destination

With one tiny hut, and no other divers (at last)

The boys, before the second dive (where I've done well to have short hair, it seems). Dive highlights included a turtle, a stingray, and loads of jellyfish.

The return journey

"Look at that, er, mountain..."
