How bizzare... the weather swaps from one way to the other.
March tends to be erratic in Sharm, windy for a couple of days, glorious for the next two days.. and so it goes. Or if things really don't go to plan, we get the "Hamseen" or the Forty day winds (hamseen means fifty, so I don't quite get that one). Thankfully that hasn't reared its ugly head just yet, but we have had a few hairy mornings, but it has always been from the North, which is what we are used to and can deal with. It is when the wind turns from the South or even worse, the South East, that things can get really lumpy, as there is nothing to shelter us from that one.
For the time being though, the sun has been shining once again, we just have to deal with a bit of lumpiness in the morning dives.
