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.
