Saturday 12 April (day 43)

Eowyn sings: "Happy birthday to pappia!"   

 

Today the birthday-boy and Niels go diving in the Red Sea! While Julia and Eowyn play on the beach and lounge in the Bedouin-style beach lounge with carpets and cushions under palm fronds on the beach with someone bringing them fresh mint tea.  A lazy, lazy day which finds us back at our hotel around 4.  Julia and Eowyn take Stanley out for some birthday cake – a fried Mars bar with ice cream and some apple crumble (burrrp!).  Later that night we are back at the Thai restaurant (and the supermarket for cold beers) but have an early night in anticipation of an early start to make the crossing by ferry to Jordan.
