We're for scuba in Dahab

Finally got away from the bright lights of Sharm. After a pretty nice Thai meal last night on the centre strip of Sharm we knew it was really time for us to head out, afterall a year away means a year on the cheap.

We caught the afternoon bus to Dahab and have been pleasantly surprised since arrival. Our dorm room is clean and the facilities pretty new. The dive shop, Red Sea Relax, is right out front and if we dive with them, our accomodation is free.

Our first meal, at a restaurant right outside of our hotel and next to the water was great. Chicken curry for Tom and veggie stirfry for me. Very happy to be eating vegetables again after my wee illness. With drinks the meal was the equivalent of approx 15 Euro.

Looking forward to what this little beachside town has to offer.
