El Gouna.....

My DH always wanted to spend some time in El Gouna ..it was more like a dream of his to go there.

Alhamdulelah this year we were able to go there for a 4 days vacation...the hotel where we were staying was a resort with over +500 rooms....

It had 3 swimming pools ,a lagoon and of course the beach..

The children really enjoyed the water ...they spent over 6 hours daily at the pool....WOW ...this means alot of sun.....Armed with my islamic swimsuite I had my fair share of the cool waters too.

My DDs had a chance to really practice their swimming skills

Most of our days were spent inside the resort...with 2 kids we felt too lazy to venture outside although I would have loved to explore the city & maybe even visit Hurghada.We chose to stay within our hotel's premises as this vacation was mainly intended for relaxation only

Here are some more images that I took from my room's balcony of the nearby lagoon.....we sometimes saw boats & gondolas taking people around the hotel for a cruise.

BUSY......BUSY.......BUSY

I've been extremly busy these past few weeks...throw in going through one of my

depressive episodes & things weren't going as smoothly as I intended ...Alhamdu Lelah

I've neglected my blog for some while now...

but really I have so many ideas for posts lined up in my head..I hope I get the time to blog about it all..

I have a very important test coming up on Tuesday..& I haven't been studying very well....

after I finish the exam we are going to El Gouna for a 5 day vacation....YAY!!!!!!!!!11

But I'm so crammed up...with a very huge shopping list & I'll only have 5 hours of shopping available in the window between my exam & going to El Gouna.

I will take as many pictures as I can in sha Allah to share with all of you as I'm being told that El Gouna is heaven on earth....I hope so in sha Allah...

Ohhhhh how I need this vacation.......wish me luck sisters!!
