We are now in Dahab, on the red sea coast. When we arrived in our hotel, we were surprised to see many familiar faces, the Canadian sisters, Swedish, and an Aussie couple on the felucca! it's great, feels like finding old friends back. :) Lonely planet suggests coming here to recover from "chronic pharaonic fatigue", we happily oblige. :) (we soooo swear by our L.P.) it is indeed very relaxing here, the coast is lined with colorful Bedouin style cafe and restaurants (picture on the left). there's significantly less street hassles. people are more laid back and friendly and the souvenir t-shirts printed with "Dive now, work later" just says it all!As restless as us, we decided to balance out the relaxation with some physical activity. that is, to climb Mt. Sinai for the sunrise (where Moses received the Ten Commandments). We started at about 2am, the hike is not so difficult but the darkness adds a bit challenge to it, especially when we have to share the route with camels (and their poops)! One of them even pushed Pascal. what an aggressive creature! the sun rise is so beautiful, the scenery from top is breathtaking. It's the first time i ever see a cloudless sunrise. definitely worth the hike!

You look great and relaxed!! Hope that you are recovering from the food poisoning. Camel food is not for human, don't share your plate with them!
