Six new pilgrims arrive
On Sunday night martyn, keith, belinda, vaila, Arsallah and fahim
arrived after 21 hour journey. After being welcomed by their fellow
pilgrims they collapsed into bed.
The next morning they visited the monastery at mount Sinai at 9am. The
previous night the monastery's Fr Samuel, at a meeting with ed
kessler, asked whether they would like to attend a 5.30am service but
they understandably declined.
The rest set off at 7.30ish on 110km journey to nuweiba. We were told
it was all downhill but should have known better than to have believed
amir...it was a long, tiring but rewarding journey. We arrived at dusk
and some of the pilgrims are hoping to find a G&T before dinner.
Tommorrow we expect to enter the promised land.

How you are managing to cycle such distances is beyond me! You must all be really fit. Fi claimed to have cycled very little in preparation - I don't believe you!
You have missed another horrid day of weather. Mike and I were in East Sussex shooting today and I have never been so wet. It was the most horrible wet and windy day (again). Seeing your cloudless blue skies in the photos makes me very envious!
Remember it is the 11th November tomorrow. Are you wearing your poppies?
Love to all
