Here I go again, sun, sea and sand, here I come. Vacation time again and the chance to catch some sun before the winter rolls into Europe.
I arrived with a nice flight at noon, just couldn't find the camera that afternoon. As you can see, I am having my first breakfast, looking out to sea and the beach from the seabreeze restaurant.
After a few of basing in the sun, I decided it was time to do something and I joined the red sea pirates for a spin around the coast. Captain Ahab was there himself and I had a relaxing time. We managed to coax stupid tourists onto the boat and we sold them in across the sea in Saudi Arabia for a good price.
Still, that wasn't enough sightseeing.
After a little check of where I am exactly, I decided to go and see some sights. So what else is there in Sinai, of cource, mount sinai! So off I went, tagging along secretly with a bus full of unsuspecting people who paid a good price and I got to go for naught. Off I went to the St.Katherine Monastry, you know the one where they have them secret books and so on.
The path to enlightment, I guess. Passing the garden full of old olive trees and the orthodox priests tending them, but look there, they have a cute tractor to drive around on. (Shucks, can't find that picture anymore.)
Now guess what this is!?
... taking pictures of the desert garden and it was pricley for sure. I'll be much more carefull the next time.
Just so you know, I met a few good friends of mine, them clown fishes, and we had a good ride around the place.
At the airport I did look surprised when I met "them" about to go snorkeling.
See, I was in Asia, as the Sinai is part of it and not part of Africa. If you look closely when at the airport, across the runway, you can see Saudia Arabia. across the Gulf of Aqaba, that's true!
That's all this time.

Yes, the burning bush, as you can see from the fire extinguisher, standing beside it! (You can't, aw, well sorry but takin' pictures is hard for me.) And them russians like it a lot too.
I say, the desert is sure a strange place, everything is more a bit like at sea, they have seadunes and desertships, like this strange donkey here, and such stuff.
On my way back I passed by Dahab which was a bit hippie town like in some parts but still nice.
And they seem to be a bit looney too, but the desert is hot for sure so I guess it's a bit of a tradition too.
Apart from not being allowed to bring your horse to the bar, like in the old west.
See how pretey they made the bed?
During the last days the sun must have gotten to me a bit as I did some silly stuff ...
