I did it! Mt SInai to Aqaba

Well hi all
this is going to be the shortest blog post ever and will likely contain a number of spelling mistakes etc. but given that I have about 15 minutes I am sure you will forgive!
So we left grotty Cairo and all of those horny men, gee damn! lolz It is very weird to be on the streets here and not be hissed at or undressed by the eyes of dozens of men. Occasionally there is the odd "hello", but it is SUCH a relief! Anyway, getting sidetracked....
Once we left Cairo we made our way by bus to Mount Sinai - think Moses, burning bush, la da. As many of you will already know, it was the one thing I was massively stressed about, given that the mountain contains... wait for it.... 3750 steps!! wooooooooo. I was contemplating taking a camel up, however let me tell you that I MADE IT! Yay me! I even went the hard way (steps rather than the sloping camel path), mainly ços it was shorter, but also cos my leg does not enjoy inclines upwards. And I am perfectly fine, though at one stage I thought I was going to DIE of exhaustion.
The steps are known as the Steps of Repentence. Here is what i repented on my way up:
*The days that I skipped working out with Murray (sorry Murray)
*Chocolate Borios (that is what they make here, surprisingly similar to Orios)
*Chips
*All the fried food I have ever consumed
*Sitting on my bum in all of those cities where I opted to sit and have coffee rather than walking/hiking around, hrll i should have jogged!
And the fact that almost all of the rest of my group were infinitely fitter than me! They were very polite about it, but I suspect I was the one holding ém back, and the guide did offer to carry my daypack (which I accepted, just goes to show how completely buggered I was!)
So that was that and I am glad that I did it! I HAVE CONQUERED A MOUNTAIN!
We left there and went to Paradise, otherwise known as Sawa Beach Camp on the Red Sea. SOOOOOOOO lovely, beach huts, blue sea, snorkelling, great food, I was in Heaven. Could have done a couple more nights.... and then maybe a couple more..... mmmm napping....
We then took the ferry across to Aqaba. So now we are in a whole new country, Jordan! It seems very clean, modern and expensive compared to Egypt, has sort of a Gold Coast feel to it here, but that just could be in comparison.
Anyway, must go!
Love to all
