Guess where I was thinking of going back to in September!

Bastards - absolute bastards. I know there’s always been a risk of terror attacks on tourists in Egypt ever since the Luxor shootings and then more recently in the Sinai attack. Even so, most of the people who were killed were Egyptian workers although it seems quite a few tourists were also killed. I just hope no-one I know who works there was caught up in it.

I may still go back in September (FCO advice pending) even though I had thought originally that I might not go back to Sharm at all after coming back from there in May. After all, at the moment I probably stand as much chance of getting blown up in London as I would in Egypt. Plus it’ll probably be quite cheap.* I almost feel that choosing to go to somewhere else in Egypt like Hurghada or Marsa Alam would actually be the wrong thing to do - Sharm will need our support too.

Theme tune for today: “They’re not gonna get us” by Tatu.

*I’m sorry if this is a bit glib but it’s the way I deal with it. I’m shocked and horrified by the events over there and there’s nothing I can do to help but make sure that I consider going back there soon. If I believed in a god, I’d pray for the souls of the victims, but I don’t so this is my way of saying I’m thinking about them.
