Unfortunately due to logistics & a build up of ships waiting to get through the Suez Canal we have had to do a night journey, a bit disappointing for many people as to go through during the day would have been spectacular.  We entered the canal at 10pm last night, it is now 5.30am & we are about 30klms from Port Said where we are apparently stopping for supplies.  Lucky for us our cabin is on the port side which is where all the towns in Egypt are so we are able to see all the light & hear the mosques already in music prayer mode, the other side is just barren.  We just arrived in Port Said at the end of the canal, this would have been a fantastic place to stop over but only here for 1/2 hour to do Suez paperwork, bummer ….
