Lost my card
I lost my debit card.
I forgot it in the only ATM in St. Katherine’s and rushed back 1.5 hours later to find it was gone. The taxi driver that took me to the ATM and back again felt so sorry for me that he didn’t charge me anything. It was the only card that I had, so now I’m left card-less. I had enough money to get back to Cairo by bus (thankfully) and yesterday my dad was able to wire me money through Western Union.
Anyways, I had a great time in St. Katherine’s. The monastery was incredible. I woke up rather late though so I only had a short while to explore it before it closed at noon. I did end up finding a *supposed* secret passageway though! Didn’t get a chance to see the bush that is supposed to be a “descendant” of Moses’ burning bush.
Climbing Mt. Sinai was one of the highlights of my trip. The view from the summit was unbelievable- I arrived as the sun was setting and the mountains all around us were golden from the slanting rays. It was an amazing experience.
My time in Egypt has come to a close. Tonight I leave on a midnight flight to Casablanca, Morocco! For those of you who are wondering about Tunisia, the reason I’m not going there is because my round-the-world ticket could not for some reason include a stopover in Tunisia, which is highly disappointing (same reason I had to skip Malaysia). I know I’ll make it there someday though!
