I missed sunrise by 10mins, then we slowly got ourselves organised and went down to the beach where 6 were having an early morning swim. After breakfast we went too. The wster was so clear, a real turquoise, and reef fishes swimming by. We headed off at about 11:00, with a brief stop at a road house to buy junk snacks for lunch. The road through the Sth Sinai mountains winds and climbs and we passed through several road blocks. It rained briefly and later we were told that there had been a real downpour which flooded the road. At the main intersection our police escort vehicle didn't come and Gigi talked them into letting us go on anyway. We reached St Catherine's at 15:50, just in time for our planned tour around the monastery. We stayed at the monastery accommodation, and all went to bed very early.
