As I expected we exited the Suez around 5PM Sunday night (the 25th) so now we are in the Red Sea and as always in the Suez all manner of salesmen set up shop on the ships fantail, the cadet (the Republican) paid 110$US for some statues, and was then upset to learn that he could have purchased them for half that (at least) he didn’t understand that the price quoted is not the price you pay, that you need to haggle.
The Suez is an interesting canal, it’s very narrow so ships pass through single file, and fairly close together.
