    An overnight trip to the red sea

    Posted by Abbi 27 August 2006

    Luxor is great - lots to see and do - but it's nice to get away from the hassle. We went on an overnight trip to the Red Sea which you can book locally and is not too expensive. There you can experience some of the best diving in the world and chill out by the sea - well worth it if you have time.

    The beach

    Posted by Abbi 27 August 2006

    The huge beach (some say 18km, some say 23) is beautiful. I have never been to such a peaceful secluded beach in the Med - lovely. If you are feeling energetic take a walk from the 'town' centre past the bread and water restaurant and follow the road. Eventually you come to the sand dunes. Time it right & take a bottle of wine to enjoy a beautiful sunset.

    Dublin has several good art galleries. My favourite were the Douglas Hyde Gallery at Trinity College, the Gallery of Photography at Temple bar and the National Gallery's Millennium Wing near Merrion Square.

    Bring comfortable shoes

    Posted by Abbi 27 August 2006

    Dublin is not a massive city so you can get to most places on foot. Phoenix Park is a bit of a trek but well worth it. A walk round Merrion Square is a lovely escape and several walks around the Temple Bar area are inevitable. So my tip is pack trainers!
