Dahab--day two

Our hotel didn't serve coffee until 8:00am, and the manager said that no other place in town is open for coffee until later than that, so we slept in.

We then spent most of the morning with the logistics of switching hotels. We're now in a regular hotel that is cleaner, friendlier, and has a nice pool. It is called the Red Sea Relax. It feels much better :-)

We rented mask, fins & snorkels and went snorkeling in the early afternoon. The coral reef is home to a huge number of great fish! We saw lots of species we had never seen before, as well as some favorites. It's a very easy shore entry from our hotel's beach, then you're on the reef almost immediately. There are dozens of dive shops and the sea is swarming with divers.

We're now planning the rest of our stay here: when to go SCUBA diving, when to climb Mt. Sinai, etc.

We wandered about town & selected a dive shop, then wandered about town & selected a restaurant, then ate a light meal and got back to the hotel at 11:30pm. Late for us!
