Mount Sinai

I'm sitting beneath a canopy of stars almost at the top on Mt Sinai, can I say that it's amazing! I wasn't really expecting this. The climb is really tough, I made it about a third of the way and then my knee gave out (darn knee), so I rode a camel for the remainder of the way up and that was rather special, I'm growing somewhat fond if camels I think I might need to invest in one when get home, sorry Rupert I might be changing my mode of transport. The walk down was rather intense and required a lot of concentration, I slipped a few times and thought this is it I'm going down but I saved myself YAY. It was a big day we left at 11pm to drive out to Sinai and then started the climb at 12am, we reached the summit at 4am, then waited until 5.30 for the sun to rise and it was worth every minute of pain and being tired, at least I can say I've down it. I'm planning to relax now I think I earned it, and then it's out to dinner along the Red Sea.

Until then, keep it real,
Mandz
