Holiday report - Part 3 Desert & last night

[spoox]

One of the things that one learns about on the PADI Open Water Course is nitrogen loading. There are various charts that one needs to learn to use in order to ascertain how long one can remain at certain depths before being required to return to the surface. This is to avoid the bends. It is also inadvisable to fly within 18 hours of multiple dives

Seamless, isn't it?

Glad you had the good time! :-D I like the hat and pipe in the desert ;-)

I misread:
"Accordingly, on our last full day in Egypt we all went on an excursion to the coloured canyons. "

as

"Accordingly, on our last full day in Egypt we all went on an excursion to the coloured crayons. "

It completely changed my perception of the holiday

Hahah! Now that would have been a trip worth going on (pun intended)!

If only all Englishmen abroad still looked like that...

Here here. Although I think our guide did begin to suspect you weren't Bedouin when you began to use your pipe to point things out. The clincher was when you stated that you probably wouldn't trust the locals with rifles. If you can cast your mind back, this was during the pipe pointing speculation that a file of riflemen from the indian sub continent and a few dozen indigenous people to carry the camp would make you feel right at home.
