Romantic travels

Last summer me and my girlfriend went on an weekende trip to a nearby town. It wasnt a log trip, just 150 km, we just wanted to get away and have some time together. The plan was to spend a day shopping and then see a show and finish the evening with a nice romantic dinner.

We had to drive at night so the first night we checked in to the hotel and took an quick dinner. But the dinner was a surprise. It was an Mongolian restaurant, I’ve never been to one before but it was a nice experience. After that we went back to the hotel and watched some tv and fell a sleep in about 10 minutes.

The next day started perfectly. The weather was perfect, warm and sunny. We walked around town shipping some clothes and some gifts for the kids. We had some ice cream and just felt good about being away.
We were going to see a comedy show at an outdoor theatre. But maybe an hour before the show started it started raining. It rained a lot, a whole lot. Then came the thunderstorm. We knew roughly were the show was and we could see it from our hotelroom. The we saw a massive thunderbolk strike in just that direction, then another. 2 minutes later the fire department rushed at that direction.

When we came to the park were the show was it was still raining. We got the news that the lightning had struck a tree in the park but it was alright now. Luckily I had a big plastic bag in my trunk we could have a a seat cushion on the wet seat. Maybe 10 min r so before the show started the rain stopped.

The show was really funny and it turned out to be a great romantic weekend trip, even if we got a little wet from the rain.

About a year ago me and my girlfriend decided that we really needed to get away and spend some quality time together.

We wanted sun and warmth and a combination of activities and tranquillity.
After some searching on the net we decided to go to Egypt.

We chose a nice all inclusive hotel just by the red sea in Hurghada in the south of Egypt. The hotel complex was very big. We got an apartment with a perfect view over the sea with a patio. The trip was perfect. We sunbathed a lot and went snorkelling. I bought an underwater camera and got some nice pictures of a moray that i almost swam into.  We went to see the beduins in the desert. But the best evening of the trip was a special night. We got the chance to celebrate Valentines in Egypt.
We went to an exclusive restaurant in the area and enjoyed a fantastic three course dinner. After that we took a long walk on the beach and just enjoyed the warmth.

Now a year later I can still feel the sun warming me. i really want to go back there with my wonderful girlfriend.
