Egypt 2023. More hotel days and a museum

Matthew,  Jon and I had planned to go to the Sharm El Sheikh museum on Saturday eve as we would be quad biking on Sunday,  but it was not to be.  

Peter cut his foot quite badly on a loose pool tile on Saturday afternoon and the hotel called the Dr out.

After a lot of iodine and some steri strips, Peter's cut was patched up but he was rightly upset and we did not want to leave him. 

He was given a wheelchair to get around and it was fortunate that on Sunday it was the women's world cup final so he had lots of company inside at the bar with Brits watching. 

On Sunday evening the 3 of us did go to the museum and it was good,  lots of statues of animals and a tomb with mummies, but our favourite thing was the Egyptian boats, especially as these were a Playmobil staple when the boys were younger.  

The museum is brand new and next to a huge mosque.  As with all our journeys. Security was tight. The taxi driver had to show his papers and we were asked which country we're from.  

All good until we were waiting outside for the taxi to collect us and he didn't return. Fortunately Jon had some data and Toby and Peter sorted it out at the hotel end. The driver arrived very apologetic about 15 mins later. We'd asked for 9.40pm pick up and he'd thought it was 10.40pm. Lesson learnt,  show the taxi driver the time written down!
