We only got about 1-3 hours of sleep before we were back up and and heading off to Assalah square again with all our stuff in tow to leave for the Mt. Sinai trip. I left a couple postcards for Matt and Kiki thanking them for everything and after saying our goodbyes to Kiki and her pup Siren (Matt was already asleep) we got in the tour van and were off. The had tied our packs up to the top of the van which made me nervous that they might fly off at some point but...

Lisa and I made quite a day of it today, we got up early around 7am to go on a jeep safari to White and Colored Canyon, I kind of decided to tag along rather last minute but they were ok with that and they were fine with me not paying them until after we returned to Dahab since I hadn't had a chance to go to an ATM yet.

I found a restaurant called Penguin Cafe and had pancakes for brunch as well as an iced coffee, again absolutely delicious! The pancakes are mad...

I sucked it up however and after Lisa and Matt headed off to go diving I headed out in search of the beach! I found a little shop to get my water from ...

It cost us 1 LE to ride the ferry one way, we sat up on top and could see both Luxor and the West Bank, very pretty! We had arranged a taxi with Tayeb's brother for 25 LE, and it was air conditioned! YAY! I never knew I'd yearn for AC as badly as I have o...
