Was up at 6am as usual. The only people around were two people playing botchi ball on the beach. The sun was hat already. I looked out the window of the hostel and the water was right there. today was a do nothing day. i decided not to take a dive and save it for the red sea in Egypt. Finished the book "three cups of tea" this is a must read for anyone travelling or not. Had shower, yes the doors do not open or shut very well. The water is heated by solar panels. Well it would be if they washed off the dirt.
Went out and sat on the Beach waiting for the restaurant to open for breakfast.
The atmosphere is more relaxed here. I was about 6 miles from the town.
Swam and took in the air for most of the day. The Visa office opens at 9am on Sunday.
October 21 and ready for Egypt. Said farewell to my new Friends. The visa only took about 2 hours. The embassy was very nice and helpful. The cost was about 20US.
Decided to catch the cab to taba on the border.
Once there was pretty smooth. That is until the security saw i was travelling alone. They asked if i was in the military. Who my father is is a very popular question. They then took me to a room and had me sit for about 1 hour.
All things happen for reason. As they finally realised me I saw a woman i met in Jerusalem she had a new friend and was looking to gt a shared taxi. we all made a deal with the first driver. from 100 Egyptian pounds each to 40 each. Everything is up for discussion. Best to walk away and the price drops quickly.
The drive was a fast drive long the coast. We made it in record time. Jasmine had been here before so we followed her o check out a few places on the strip. At first glance this is the place i want to be to end my trip.

Brillient I am thoroughly enjoying the excitement vicariously -you take all the risks and spend your hard earned money and I enjoy the ride from my chair safe at home. Great that you have enjoyed the book.
Looking forward to getting together when you get back.
