We have been diving for the last 3 days and it has been great. So much to see underwater - it's a beautiful garden of coral and there are fish as far as the eye can see. For those of you who have seen Finding Nemo, picture all the fish on the reef where Nemo lived and you can get the idea of what we saw. We saw a blue spotted sting ray and some big tuna as well. Also, today we saw some dolphins while we were on the boat.
The diving has been brilliant and the snorkeling pretty amazing too. We have really enjoyed our time in Sharm. The people have been very nice. Of course the other day Melanie got another proposal. She was told she was worth more then all the camels in Egypt. She also has a nickname - Hey American! Melissa was told she was also worth many camels by another person. It's been quite amusing.
Sharm is a nice resort town. We've found great restaurants and the prices haven't been too bad. The Egyptian pound is about 5 to 1 here. The average meal has cost about 150 Egyptian pounds which equates to about 25 dollars.
Thank you to all of you for your thoughts and comments. We are aware of what is going on and have been very careful. At this time, Egypt is not a problem.
Grandma the witch - it was about the same driving as Greece. The nice thing was that on the open road the traffic wasn't too bad. The camel was interesting - but kinda uncomfortable. They are very large and bulky and move like that. I'm sure if we rode horses we'd feel more comfortable on them, but as it was, the getting on and off was scary!
We head to Luxor tomorrow. Keep you updated as we can.
