Re: Red Sea temps?

Hi Folks

Ok, if anyone's going to Sharm in the next few day's/weeks, a drysuit would be overkill. I took a 5mm semi-dry & it was plenty warm enough, about 23*C - 24*C. Daytime temps are also warm enough for t shirt & shorts, & in the evening you could easily sit outside without having to wear a fleece or jumper.

However there was one downside, we eventually got back in the early hours of Monday morning, apparently president Mubarrak (or however you spell his name) decided he wanted a preview of the forth coming air show & so shut the airport meaning no planes could land or take off. We eventually took off 2 1/2hrs late

It wouldn't have been too bad if we'd had some info on what was going on from the airport staff, but I think it would have been more useful if I'd taken a crystal ball

Isn't it great to visit such a modern country

Never mind, it was a good week anyway

Cheers

Giles.
