DAHAB :Hey! Well we are here now in Dahab and the last 3-4 Days have been a blur so please excuse me if I am little vauge....

Also, we are miles from the bombs in Jordan so nothing to worry about:)

So we left the fellucas and went to Luxor to see the Vally of the Kings and Queens, (Pics last entry). We did about 2 hours donkey riding which was great fun, except my bloody donkey chucked me off 3 times. The temples were great but it was a long hot day. I started to feel a little queasy at 5pm and by 7 am I had vomited the colours of the rainbow (if you include dark grey)into our toilet. It was to my great selfish delight that I was not the only one and there were 3 others in the same state. Role on a 4 hour police convoy with one stop. I chucked back the motion sickness pills and managed to make it to the next hotel. I pulled it together, which was great as we had a 13 hour day in the back of the truck leaving at 2 am.

The trip was ok and we only had half of the usual rubbish of a police convey (waste of time, its there for looks only....) The highlight was seeing 2 ships in the Suez Canal - Ships of the desert - it was amazing, these massive ocean vessels sailing through the sand. Cant take a picture as there were sniper posts at every 50 metres protecting the place, they were very nice and the snipers waved at us...... (how strange...)

So we got here, had a snooze for 3 hours and proceed to climb Mount Sinai to see if the commandments were up there somewhere. The stars were amazing and we saw a couple of shooting ones as well. Just as we lay our weary heads from climbing 2000m on little sleep the sun came up from below. It was fantastic and Kodak made a lot of money from all the pics being taken, there was probably more light from the flashes of all the tourists cameras than the sun! We staggered down and went past the oldest monastry in the world. Didn't look inside as was too tired after all our lack of sleep.....

So we came back to our lovely room, had a nanna nap and then proceeded 30m to the big lights of Dahab. We started off with sisha and ended up at this great bar with an open fire and 80 egyption men keen to get it on with anybody with 2 legs (ratio of chicks to guys 1:10 - Scary). Narelle was itching for a fight if they touched her but the Egyptions luckliy survived the night. So off to bed at 2am and here I am after a big english breakky for 80 pence. (Flys were free........)

Notes so far...

It has been amazing, we have a great group of guys - (Actually 19 Girls and 7 Guys) Only one single guy - Go Woza go - he's gotta score!!! The tour is very busy and tiring but with the great bunch of people loads of fun. I am very over being sick but we are supposed to be thru the worst of it, all the tour talks about is bowl movements -Its very bonding!

See you next time and thanx for reading!
