SHARM EL SHAIKH, EGYPT, SEPTEMBER 2000

(As usual, click on any of the thumbnails to see a larger image - use the 'Close window' button to get back to this page)

Just a few snapshots here. We did take more pictures than this but, as we spent most of our two weeks there doing nothing, that's what is in most of the photos.

BEDOUIN DINNER

Steve enjoyed the food (lots of barbecued dead animals), Mo enjoyed the music and we both loved the surroundings: a natural bowl in the middle of the desert, surrounded by ghostly-lit mountains under a full moon.

IN OUR ROOM

Do you think the room cleaner was after a tip? The white swan is a bath towel!

DIVING

We spent most of this holiday just relaxing by the pool, soaking up rays, swimming some lengths and reading lots of books. The one activity in which we did indulge was scuba diving. The Red Sea is reputed to have some of the best populations of reef fish in the world, and it turned out to be a very well deserved reputation.

Steve gets ready for his orientation dive. It's true - diving is fun.

Getting unkitted after a dive with my 'buddy'.

Mo coming back from her very first dive - a practice dive from the shore but still lots to see.

And Mo during her first real dive - on the reef at Middle Garden.

SOME FISHY PICTURES

A collage of fish extracted from the mostly rubbish pictures you get with those cheap, disposable underwater cameras.

And a couple of reasonable pictures.
