Hi Maggie
Thanks for your comments - I will pass them on. We never want to cancel holidays but clearly in this case Egypt was not a safe place to be. Hopefully it will be again soon now that the president has resigned.
I'm sure you will enjoy Madeira. It has a lovely warm climate and there is plenty to do: try the street sledging, a levada walk in the countryside, a sailing trip on the Santa Maria and a visit to a port wine lodge.
Kind regards,
Olly, your editor
