Yes, once again we are on our travels... careful... this could soon transform into a proper travel blog if I am not careful hehe...
Having spent the last eight Christmasses away from home, I felt it was about time that I had a family Christmas for a change. Having said that, Christmas in Sharm can really be quite special. I love the fact that the whole subject of Christmas is not even broached before the beginning of December. We simply don't have the commercial build up that starts as early as September in the UK, which I find quite refreshing. Having said that, it has been beautiful to come to a country where Christmas is so huge, and since our arrival here, I have felt well and truly, properly Christmassy.
So... hubbie and I have zig-zagged across the country meeting up with family and friends, trying to fit everyone in before our return to the sun, sand and sea of Sharm.
Currently, we are just around the corner from famous divers' quarry Vobster where earlier this month, local divers undertook their yearly traditional Santa dive. Fantastic stuff... it has even extended to the National Diving Centre this year too.
And having spent a big chunk of this water on dry land, I will be looking forward to getting back underwater once more... even if the water temperature in Sharm is hanging around between 20º and 23ºC at the moment. Brrr.. bring out those full 5mm suits (of course I have been wrapped in a drysuit since the beginning of November).
