Monday 15th April – Sharm El Sheikh (clocks back one hour)


I had made no plans for this day, so allowed myself to sleep late, until 10:30.

To my surprise there was a dancing class (quickstep), so I went along to watch but ended up partnering Frances, taking the part of the man.

Sharm El Sheikh has become a popular tourist destination lately for the British, with an opportunity to enjoy the sun, the golden sands, swimming, snorkelling, etc. I took one look at the ‘golden sands’ and decided that by Australian standards they were dirt! I did walk outside of the ship, but had no desire to walk through the heat for 15 minutes in the hope of finding an internet cafe.





Instead it was a time to chat, to catch up with some washing and my diary, and to chill out. In fact, I didn’t even find time to get to dinner in the evening, but went up to the Lido buffet instead, about an hour after dinner had been due to start. Of course I danced in the evening, and stayed later than I should have, in view of an early start the next day! Unfortunately, as often happens before an early morning, I did not sleep well.
