Painting holiday to Egypt in November 2003

This painting holiday to Egypt in November 2003 was conceived as a leisurelytrip with no strenuous activity and plenty of luxury. Well there was plenty of luxury but in no way could it be described as leisurely. We were up before dawn almost every day to catch the beautiful sunrises. We filled every day with sketching, sightseeing, camel trekking, felucca
sailing, you name it. We finished the holiday by climbing Mount Sinai in the dark followed by canyoning in a narrow gorge!

Everyone survived and said they had had a wonderful time.
