You see, originally, the truck was supposed to go to Dahab, a town in East Sinai, but because of fighting and kidnappings, we couldn't pass through.
See just to the right of the center? Dahab! When I looked over the water, I could see Saudi Arabia.
But I really wanted to go to Dahab so after the trip ended, I went there on my own. I wasn't by myself for too long though. Sharlene, Steve, Kate and people from the other truck came eventually. But now I was not connected to any group or company, just me.
Dahab is known most for it's diving. The most famous is the Blue Hole, a hole 427 feet deep surrounded by coral and all sorts of marine life. It is the world's most dangerous dive site, not because it is particularly dangerous, well kinda, but the site has had more deaths than any other dive site in the world. And I went there for only my 6th dive! Hehehe :) But it was SPECTACULAR.
I also dived at a place called the lighthouse and saw an octopus (octopi?) dual. Two males were fighting over a female. The way they camouflaged was unreal. I also saw two turtles.
Another dive was the Canyon. I went deep into a crevice an earthquake made an explored that. Then I went above and played I the bubbles floating up from the ground from the divers below!

I loved Dahab. I stayed at Bishbishi's, a great hotel with super friendly people. Dahab had a lovely walk along the water with nice places to get a drink or a bite to eat. And a yummy Thai place- although it was another place I had to say more goodbyes. I flew out to London after dinner. I didn't want to leave. But of all the places to leave to, London isn't doing to bad ;).
