Our Egypt Trip

So it figures that as we leave England, the temperature is 30°C (85°F) - finally hot after a really yucky spring and early summer. Anyway, it is just a tad hotter than that as we land in Taba. We flew in at 9:30pm and night - especially dark as we looked out of the window of the plane - there were barely any lights on the ground. The darkness thickened as the runway lights were turned off just moments after we hit the ground. I suppse ground control felt our plane's headlights were strong enough. That's an Egyptian thing - as we drove the 45mins from the airport to the coast, we noted no-one drives with their lights on. At best, they use parking lights and then flash their brights just as they pass one another in the narrow mountain passes.

Anyway, back to heat, the next morning we woke up to 46°C/115°F sunshine, lovely pool water and crystal-clear Red Sea to snorkel in.

ENJOY THE PICTURES!
