Monday 13 November







Today was special as it was Aunty Chris's birthday! YAY! We got up early and had breakfast together, all you could eat buffet... We love holidays.. Then we spent the morning by the sea sun bathing and relaxing. After that we headed into Naama Bay to do some site seeing and had dinner by the sea in a little cafe.. it was yum.. Then we went on a glass bottom boat in the bay to check out some of the tropical fish, then watched the sunset.

Once we got back to the hotel we went back to the Turkish restaurant and had another delicious meal, then all of a sudden the lights dimmed and a birthday cake was brought into the room with candles... yay!! Happy Birthday to you... it was a great surprise, none of us knew Uncle Paul had arranged it... After a great meal Uncle Paul and Aunty Chris went off to bed while DI and I got picked up out of the front of the Hotel to be taken to Mt Sinai...

Fortunately we were able to sleep in the van on the way as it took 2 hours to get there. On arrival we met our guide and started to climb the mountain.. It was an awesome experience to know this is where Moses had been... Any way we came to a Camel Caravan and we were asked if we would like to ride a camel half way up the mountain.. of course Di and I didn't say no and we then spent the next hour and a half riding up Mt Sinai on a camel... it was awesome...
