18b Transiting the Suez Canal.. again

Facing transit number five of the Suez Canal didn't quite have the same
thrill as it did previously. This pesky haze was still plaguing us and now
that they have opened the second transiting lane, your view of the African
side of Egypt is obscured. As this is the most interesting part side, kind
of made going out on deck a bit ho hum. In fairness there is a lot of
construction going on. Tunnels are being built and pipes are being laid, for
cars and water to be easily transferred over the Sinai side. There are many
small towns being built with lots of apartment blocks etc. Maybe in a few
years' time the Sinai will be just as green as the Nile side. So apart
from that it was pretty uneventful for us.
