March 31 - Arrive in Dahab

Well, it was a long and quite tedious ride. It was late as well. We arrived at 1:00pm, well after the 10:30am last bus to Nuweiba. So Alex, a german veterinary student, and I shared a room at the Penguin Hotel here. Very nice resorty place, there is a front terrace with lots of pillows to relax, eat, drink, smoke etc. There are lots of scuba lessons here as well for diving.

Just spoke to a couple Americans who I met in Luxor. Apparently, there is a bus tour to St. Katherine's/Mount Sinai at 11:00pm. So it gets to Mount Sinai after a couple hours, then you hike up for sunrise to the top. That sounds so magnificent, and they will drop us off at Nuweiba for the ferry, so I get to work it in without missing any days, as I was getting concerned about time.

So I will probably just relax tonight and get in Mount Sinai and look at the St. Katherine's Sanctuary there. That will be magnificent to be on top of Mount Sinai!
