(^44) The    following   morning,    we  didn’t  defrost     until   midday  and     thus    late    when    we
started up  Mt  Sinai.  The walk    up  the mountain    was beautiful,  featuring   stunning
scenery and views   of  the surrounding mountains.  At  the summit  was a   mosque,
still    used    by  Muslims,    as  well    as  a   Greek   Orthodox    chapel.     After   exploring,  we
hurried down    the mountain    to  join    the others  in  the tent    already warmed  by  the
fire.

Waking  to  ice on  the tent    indicated   it  time    to  seek    warmer  weather.    Once    again,  it
was midday  before  getting underway    and onto    the east    coast’s hilly   road.   Our late
start   made    for wild    camping along   the way,    only    reaching    Dahab   the following   day.
