Wandering the Desert
... highway, turrets gleaming in the sun.
The temperature continued to rise as I rolled into Eilat. Wedged between three other countries, Eilat is in a strategic position as Israel’s only outlet to the Red Sea and therefore, the Indian Ocean. Today, it is not only an important shipping center, but also a seaside resort full of high-rise hotels. Again, as with almost everything in Israel, the closeness of everything amazed me.

The St Pierre Hotel was full, and they had no recommendations as to where to try and acknowledged that ...
Dive Dive Dive to Nom Nom Nom
Wheeee! I did it! I passed my first two checkout dives today and I did it in the Red Sea! Dive 1 was at King Abdullah Reef and dive 2 was at First Bay North.
