Egypt Day 2 - Teacher's pet

After the first day's performance he had a long way to go to ingratiate himself back in Janina's good books as a model student.

He failed.

He slept through the videos, again, and generally played the class clown (oh what a surprise) but remarkably appears to be getting the idea of diving. It is possible that he may not die when he first goes in the Ocean in a couple of days. Possible but unlikely.

In non-diving news we are glad to report that he has had the first opportunity to test his haggling skills (long-term readers may recall that they are not tip-top) when one of the natives offered him 200 camels for his "wife" (Dennis). On the basis that one should never take the first offer he is holding out for more.



His disdain for sunscreen is also coming through. A lovely lobster tan is well on the way.
