Taba & Dahab

Yesterday we left Sharm and arrived in Taba. Nice city. Kind of boring. Took a ride out to see Pharoah's Island (under contruction, not soo much fun as it was very hot), but then I got to stroll the beach afterwards and found some shells and such that made my day.

We sailed all afternoon for Nuweiba, where we are still docked now, and there was rough seas due to wind. Not too bad but many people took the sea sickness pills.

I am sitting now in an internet in cafe for an hour catching up on all the blogs I've missed for a wek or so. I like Dahab. Its smaller than Sharm, but runs along the sea with many shops and is more like a hippie city than an elaborate resort town. Need to get back out and shop.

Tonight we sail for Saudi Arabia. No one has been allowed into Saudi Arabia for 100 years so I can't even tell you how excited I am. Already tried on my Galabeya dress to cover up!

Will probably be several days till we are back in Egypt before I can write again.
