Monday 27th November
A day trip to St Katherine’s monastery near Mount Sinai was quickly arranged and the three crews left at 0715 for a trip South along the coast and then into the hills of the Sinai peninsula. St Katherine’s monastery is an a most desolate spot and is home to 24 monks, one of the oldest churches anywhere, some priceless relics and icons, lots of camels to ride and the “Burning Bush” of Old Testament fame. The "Burning Bush" didn't appear in the least scorched but rather green and succulent!
