Sharm el Sheikh, Egypt

Passenger PIer

            Friday, 7 Apr 2017 – Most of the ship excursions for today offered beach-related activities, and we had decided not to partake in any of them.  Since we (especially Sally) were very tired from our trip to Luxor, we slept late.  Although Jesse wanted to go ashore for a walk after breakfast, we ended up exiting the ship at 11:45, with only a half hour to spare before everyone was supposed to be back onboard.  In fact, while leaving, we were meeting everyone else returning to the ship.  Since Sally didn’t take time to find her hat or sunscreen before leaving, we took only an umbrella along with us to block the sun.  However, the wind proved too strong for an umbrella.  Also, we could see that it was quite a distance to walk to the end of the pier, with nothing much to tempt us to walk further.  Therefore, we stopped and took a photo with low mountains in the background before re-boarding the ship!  [At least, Jesse can now say, “We’ve been to Sharm el Sheikh!”]
