He reckons he switched his phone off because he didn't want expensive texts and phone calls disturbing his peace. He said he switched on his phone to send a message of arrival and details of hotel on Whatsap which is free and "noticed" a load of messages and missed phone call from us and in-laws so decided to contact us.
He tells me he was unaware of a terrorist attack in the hotel down the road on the day of his arrival but was told by Thomas Cook Rep it was "just an armed robbery that went wrong and the local police dealt with it".
Now I am all for not spreading mass panic,alarm and despondency but I abhor the cynical way they allegedly were not advised that an incident did occur in resort and not to leave the complex to go shopping or sightseeing.
The F.O. here have given that advice but the Reps are to worried they will get loads of Brits wanting out of Egypt pronto and the company will lose money. Disgusting cover up.
My son of course is also feeling rather sheepish as he was advised by us of ongoing Daesh activity in Egypt and M.E and that his mother and I considered it crass stupidity and irresposible to take a 4yr old and a 10 month infant to a terrorist hot spot about 4 months ago when he booked the
holiday. Within 2 days our 10 month god daughter contracted a stomach bug and was given a £100 anti-biotic injection by an Egyptian doctor.The money is nothing but the health and well being of them allis paramount and I won't be forgiving the fact that they still went there. There are many more civilised places to go.
