Route of the Ancient Traders
Day 11
M/S Nautica
Sharm El Sheik, Egypt
Clear – 77 Degrees
Sharm El Sheik is the major vacation destination in Egypt. It is a warm weather beach resort on the Sinai Peninsula and the shores of the Red Sea. We floated into port on a beautiful morning.
The boating, diving, and snorkeling here are reputed to be outstanding. The major historical destination is St. Katharine's Monastery, dating to 330 A.D. At the foot of Mt. Sinai, this is the home of the Biblical burning bush.
We are beat and we need a break. St. Katharine's is a three hour drive away. We just can't muster the energy. We did laundry and had a day of rest.
Next Stop: Safaga, Egypt

Please rest! This is incredible what you are doing, and I had been thinking that you were doing far better with the exhaustion than I would be. You need a little R & R thrown in too. I look forward to logging on and reading your blog every day. You have inspired me to daydream about travel again, someday in the distant future when the kids are old enough . . .
