Was just reading your post Georgina and it's something I've often wondered about myself, where does all the water come from??? On the subject of too many beds in Egypt, the connection can be made if, like us, you have a waterbed! LOL

As in most desert areas, there are a vast amount of natural springs. Jordan for example, has such a good supply of natural spring water that it supplies Eilat in Southern Israel, and also Iraq. Most of the water in the Sinai is pumped from the Nile, Egypt has the largest pumping station in the world.

A springy water bed eh, the mind boggles. Did you buy it in Egypt ? Suppose you must have done. Is it comfortable ?

Thankyou Elaine - dont know when she will be online though as her laptop crashed but she is hoping to be staying here another month. Anyway update complete for now as this is costing me a small fortune!! Speak soon xxx

All the best
