Hi All, Spent the day essentially in the hotel room recovering. Was nice to just lay around and read a book and relax. Even wove a new watch band for Vanessa as her 'genuine' leather one from Rio de Janeiro broke. We needed and enjoyed the rest with ... Read more >


Sinai

Hi All, Got to say that travelling with a day pack is so much easier than having all our gear. Jumping on buses and taxis is so easy. Caught the bus from Alexandria to Port Said. Only a couple of hours. Arrived at the bus station with no map. The lonely ... Read more >


Alexandria
