In Egypt...

Dahab is the place where you can forget EVERYTHING... even the internet and your blog...
Anyway, here is the summary of the last weeks:
On 12th of July we took a flight from Delhi to Cairo, where we met up with Kevin's sister Maureen. It was the first time in over 3 1/2 years that we met somebody from Kevin's family!!!
Together with Maureen we explored Cairo, the egyptian museum and visited the pyramids. After that we traveled on to Luxor where we met a lot of old friends and had the chance to introduce Maureen to the "real" Egypt. We saw a lot of old stones, sailed in a felucca on the nile and hiked in the desert. Our friend Ali invited us to stay at his home in a small village north of Luxor. There we strolled through the sugarcane fields, ate fresh dates right from the palm tree and enjoyed a real egyptian dinner in the evening.
From Luxor we went to the small village of Dahab on the Sinai peninsula. Here we enjoyed our last days with Maureen: we swam and snorkeled in the red sea, smoked shisha, drank tea and spent a lot of time in the Bedouin style cafes. Life can be soooooooooo good!!!
And because life is sooooooo good here, we are still here!
Maureen already took her turn and left Dahab on the 2nd of August... When we will be able to do the same...? No idea!!!! We are trying, but so far the urge to stay is still stronger than the urge to leave... We should have known it - Dahab is famous for holding travelers for weeks or even months...
