Dahab, Egypt

Fresh seafood.

We bought tickets from Luxor to Dahab for an air conditioned bus that takes fourteen hours. For the first ten hours of the trip it seemed like the air condition didn't work. The fourteen hours became twenty one hours. It was full of egyptions teenagers boys who would chain smoke every break the bus took. Even though they would smoke off the bus, the driver would smoke on the bus. When gassing up the driver would close the doors on us and smoke by the pump and then toss the cigerette on the dirt and gas soaked floor.

However going through that bus from hell, it allowed us to bond to a few other backpackers including one we previously met in Luxor. When we arrived in Dahab it seemed like heaven. The skies were clear and the wind was refreshing. We felt like we deserved to splurge so we went to the recommended seafood joint. We had a rooftop view of the red sea, fresh sea food, and good company.
