Dahab, Egypt

Snorkeling at Lighthouse point in Dahab

The past few days consisted of scuba diving, drinking mango smoothies, smoking mint Sheesha, and drinking Egyptian beer. After all that hard work, I decided to take it easy, haha. I had the option to join kristoffer in his 100th dive or rest up for the night hike at midnight. I can tell you that I missed out on a tall skinny Norwegian guy scuba diving with a viking helmet that says "100th dive" strapped to his chin, using an underwater scooter, and completely butt naked. So, I opted to rest and go snorkeling. I haven't mastered taking photos while holding my breath underwater while snorkeling, so please excuse the blurriness.

Our first picture at a different place called "friends". We always went to this place called Yalla which means "lets go" in Arabic. The new place was infested with cats and the waiters would give us spray bottles to scare them away. In the picture we have (from left to right) Me, Wai, Deepak, Kristoffer, and Siri. We met Deepak in Luxor at our hostel and explored Luxor together in the heat. We met Kristoffer and Siri on the bus to Dahab and we all became friends after complaining about the 21 hour/poorly air conditioned bus ride.


I have to say, if you do go to Egypt, make Dahab the last stop because you'll love it.
