Holiday in Dahab

A couple of weeks ago together with Nichole (aka Muppet, Nix), Kelli and Bronwyn i went to Dahab, one of my favourite places in Egypt (there's at least one thing i like about Masr LOL).
Thanks to Bronwyn i was spared of a 9 hour bus drive which is often a terrible experience, just because she had a 4x4 and we drove there. We left Cairo on a Thursday afternoon, right after school.
We rented a beautiful apartment there that i totally reccomend (http://www.dahab.net/; check the Sea Stars apts - very cool and friendly owner - Tim). During the 4 or 5 days we spent there we got henna tatoos - all the same, apart from Kelli which has betrayed The Pride (as we called ourselves).

We have also taken the quads into the desert (Bronwyn stayed behind, as she had homework) - that was an awesome experience, especially for Kelli ... I am sure Nix has enjoyed it as much!! :P Luckily, we were with some Jordanian guys and they were able to get our guide to offer the best ride ever!

most afternoons were spent on the beach, snorkelling, having drinks (soft), getting a tan ... and getting hassled by the little girls who sell bracelets/anklets.

Our apartment had an awesome rooftop with a nice sitting area, so we spent most evenings there, apart from the one night spent at RUSh .... quite an interesting place, with even more interesting people, i'd say. We went to our friend, Dr Sheesha for his special mix - apple mint sheesha. We actually bought a big sheesha to have for ourselves at the apartment.

We had more fun than it sounds in this post, just because i am talking about facts and activities... but it is something that i will remember for a long time! :D
