Active Sport Holidays
After you are done trying to set the record for most hours sitting in front of the telly, you might feel the need to try something different, like taking a holiday that involves more than sitting around on your bum and drinking drinks with little tiny umbrellas. Not that there is anything wrong with that. Tiny umbrellas could be a lifesaver the next time there is a tiny hurricane and you are caught outside without shelter.
Perhaps the ideal combination is a holiday that allows you to be both active and a sloth. Neilson is one company worth checking out if you are into adventure travel sports like Mountain Biking, Windsurfing and Yoga. Of all the sports that they list, the one I find the most intriguing is Kitesurfing which they describe thusly:
Kitesurfing is, without a doubt, the exciting new watersport of the moment. Drawing on many influences, kitesurfing, sometimes called kiteboarding, combines elements of wakeboarding, powerkiting, surfing and windsurfing to produce a challenging, yet highly rewarding, sport.
Our new centre in Dahab, Egypt offers superb conditions for newcomers to kitesurfing. Wide sandy beaches, steady winds and a designated kitesurf lagoon ensure a fabulous environment for learning.
Kitesurfing in Egypt. How cool is that. Sure will give me something to think about while sitting on the couch for days watching the boob tube.
