My daily routine, during the last 10 Weeks

I was in Hamata (Egypt) for the last 10 Weeks and I really enjoyed the time there. Every day was similar but that was exactly what I was looking for. Perfect wind and water condition to train and teach, a nice hotel room and good food.

I would like to thank my co-workers for the good time at the Kite-Village and the Stuff from the Wadi Lahmy AZUR Hotel for the perfect service.

NO WIND ACTION IN HAMATA

Unfortunately we had a few days no Wind in Hamata. 
But it was not boring, there are a lot of no Wind Activities to do here in the Desert.

One Day we went on a Quad-Tour. It was so nice to drive around in the desert, we saw camels, sheeps and we joined a Beduin Family for a Coffee.

And we drove with a 4 wheel drive Car into the Desert, where we found a sandy and steep dune to do sand boarding. I had a lot of fun and at the end the my body was full with sand from the crashes :-)

still in Hamata

I am already one Month here in Hamata and will stay her for at least one more Month.

It is hard for me as a Women to work here in Egypt. My egyptian co-workers are all men and their way how they see the part of the women in the society is totally different then in Europe. The Women has to stay at home to take care of the family and a women has to obey. As you can imagine, I am not such a women..... and I had already troubles because of that.... because I talked a little louder to one of our Beachboys because he dropped a 5kg sandbag on my kite and made a hole in the canopy (after we told them all several time not to do that). As they told me its very bad for them when a women talks like this to a men, I had to apologize and a few days he  didn't talk to me but now we are a happy family again. 

We all have to tray to respect and understand other cultures to live together. That means for me here in Egypt to learn to be more patient and to tell things again and again and again..... but I can't do that directly, I have to ask Andy to speak for me, because I have nothing to say as a Women :-)

Wonderful Spot, Hamata in Egypt

I really enjoy my time here in Hamata at the Kite Village. A lot of People I know are here and I have good students. All in all I have a lot of fun.


The situation here in Hamata is super safe, no demonstrations or other troubles like in the north around Cairo. Come and visit us, the conditions are perfect, as you can see;

Ready for Check-in, Flight to Marsa Alam

After one month in Switzerland, which I really enjoyed, I checked in for my flight to Marsa Alam.

Around two hours south of Marsa Alam with the car you find the kite-village, where I will teach and train for 2 month. I am so happy that so many people I know are coming to this beautiful kitespot.

From the islands of San Blas to the car show in Geneva

My last stop of the first part of my journey was in San Blas.  San Blas is a series of 378 islands  and only 49 are inhabited by the fiercely independent Kuna Indians. The economy of the islands is based on coconut sales, fishing and tourism and they offer travelers good snorkeling and swimming. Facilities are few and simple, as is the food. The area is surrounded by reefs, some of the oldest in the world. It is just beautiful there.......

I was lucky and it was windy for one day and I really enjoyed kiting between the islands, it was just unreal......

Everything comes to a end and it was time from me to go back home :-) it is so nice to see my family and friends again after 5 month. Unfortunately, I am not here to chill around, after 2 day I had to work for two weeks as hostess for Maserati at the biggest car show in Switzerland. The switch from the simple loneliness of the island to the fancy crowded fair environment couldn't be bigger. 

Thanks to my Maserati team, it was great to work with you and I miss you all :-)
