Got up way to early and caught a taxi to the bus station. It turns out that our hotel gave us the wrong departure time - the bus to Dahab leaves at 8:30, not 6:30. So we ended up sitting around with our gear. The bus was not fast and took us via Sharm el-Sheikh so it ended up being a long, nine hour drive - through absolutely desolate country. There were some interesting bombed out buildings and bunkers - those and the extensive trenches must be remnants from the Israeli conflict. By the time we got to Dahab we were starving (hadn't eaten all day). I managed to find the same camp I stayed in before and we got a very basic cement room. Checked out the diving school and arranged for Amy to start her open water certification tomorrow morning. Walked the length of the bay and found a good beach cafe for diner. Had a couple well deserved beers at a local happy hour then went back to the hotel fairly early as Amy has to start studying.
