aiwa, we are all meshi!

Just to start- I will let you know that we were nowhere near Sharm.. Well, closer than most of you; but still far away! Sharm is a one hour drive from here. We were peacefully sleeping on the beach - in Jasmine, as our room is like a sauna. Too hot for sleeping. We awoke as the sun rose and wandered home when Katy told us the news Gilly had called- thanks Gilly! So I believe that most of you would have received our text. If you didn't yell at someone who did; I told them to pass it on! Hee hee.
Any how we have booked our tickets out of here for the 4th Aug back to Athens. Giving it time to settle down and hopefully the Sharm airport will re-open by then, we really do not want to take the bus!
The tourist police have grown in size around Dahab overnight. There was 2-3 around in groups now 4-5. Which is comforting more than it is daunting. Glad to say that we have done the touristy things and we can now now get out of this country. Our Egyptian friends - Walid and Mustafa- we saw them today have said that anyone Egyptian who has a flat, has been searched. Obviously looking for someone.
Anyhow on to more important things.....
Like my birthday!
Thanks to all who sent me a SMS or email love you!
We all went diving to the caves and umm sid and then 3 pools it was great, really nice. Just a quiet one for dinner where I got some pressies! Yay! Music from Walid, nice one ! Loving the skippy rope thanks Paul! Then out came my "cake" big thanks to Davo and Katy for not letting them get me a real cake! They told the boys at Star of Dahab that i would be happy with just a banana split... its true, I would have but instead....
A MASSIVE fruit salad/ pancake/ icecream/ brownie extravaganza! I have photos and will post before and afters soon! Mustafluffy is very naughty and he knows it!

Was great we did it in 3 days the weather was cooler at night and the people not so hassling. Petra is quiet amazing also and a long walk we did 10ks in one arvo! I had to take a camel half the way back! Met some Funny Aussies who we went with to the dead sea. What an experience that was! Totally weird and cool and owwy with any cuts on your body! See photos soon maybe in the next few days. may not send an email for that so you have to check later ok!? This will probably be the last installment for Egypt but not the last from us- of course. We are sad to leave behind our friends but glad to be moving on.
