the diving and snorkelling in and around sharm el sheikh is like nothing i have ever seen
it was absolutely fascinating, no pics or videos or text will be able to describe it
looking at the coral reefs living among the 1000s of multicoloured tropical fish was like the best visuals ive ever seen, and it was all real and totally refreshing
i sort of feel like a new person after discovering this sub marine world that i only sort of knew existed
puts things into perspective when you look at the world as a whole
besides that the food, locals, scenery and weather are all everything one could ever ask for (in march at least!)
heres a pic i took while quad biking thru the desert, just after i had lunch with the bedoin people (nomads)
i didnt go to cairo or see the pyramids, all that is going to happen on my next trip. we only had a week there and didnt want to rush things for the sake of ticking it off a list.... it was a relaxing week moreso than one crammed full of travel - we were 8 hours by bus south of cairo.
hash is also plentiful, of good quality and cheap for those who like a toke - and with egypt being a military state now, the police are no longer there to break any balls. theres a massive atmosphere of enthusiasm and hope around the place and the locals seem to be really enjoying experiencing being a part of a revolutionary generation.
