Not a really newsy day today. Took a bus from Cairo to Dahab, it was a 7 hour bus ride that 9 hours. Went through over a dozen checkpoints, and had our passports checked at least 6 times. Unfortunately, terrorists have hit the Sinai resorts three times in the last 4 years, so everybody is a little edge. Fortunately, they always hit the resorts on a holiday. There aren't any in the next few days.
The above road sign, (besides the security concerns), are why we don't rent a car and drive out here.
This is the typical view in the Sinai Peninsula, very dry, nothing grows here. No wonder the Israelites were so grumpy during there 40 years of wondering about.
After arriving in Dahab, we walked around a bit, checked out the Lonely Planet Guidebook and settled on this restaurant. You choose which sea creature you would like to consume, they then cook it for you. We chose the Sea Bass. Here it is.
Along with the fish was soup, salad, pita bread, two dips, rice, (and bones). Good meal. Tomorrow is snorkeling and the camel ride.
