here i am in egypt now.. no plane crash, no kidnapping so far hahaha jk
To put it in brief words: Egpt is the most lovely country ive ever visited! (Im not saying this out of holiday-beginning-enthusiasm, within a few hour ive experienced things i never seen before) People are soo sooo loveable and hospitable! Right now Im in the net cafe in dahab (sinai peninsula) right at the ocean. Theres a wind blowing in here but its so pleasant. The temperature at the arrival was 39 in the sahde but honestly it doesnt feel like almost 40 as the heat is very dry and easy to bear so far.<br/><br/>

The plane landed at 12:15 at noon and I was still a bit tired after getting up so early this morning. After getting the visa, getting through the the passport control etc I picked up my backpack and heavily loaded i went to try my luck haggling over a suitable taxi price to east delta bus station in sharm el sheikh from where i was gonna get onto a bus to dahab. But taxi drivers were very bold and wated to have 40 euros for a 10 minute taxi ride... I insisted on
they were so much fun
a price but no one accepted it. So i left a few times, was called back a few times, this happened about 7 or 8 times. Finally i felt like getting a sunburn alreay and went into the shade to put some sunscreen onto my skin when a taxi driver suddenly made me a fantastic offer so I finally got a taxi trip to dahab from the airport for 15 euros (1 hour trip!!)

The taxi driver was a nice man who had 2 of his little sons, ibrahim and ahmad, along in his taxi. I had the most fun with those 2 cute little fellas. they jumped around in the car, performed acrobatic acts and finally we had lots of fun with my digital camera. The driver, mohammad, asked me whether id like to try some original bedouin tea, and i agreed. so he left the main road and stopped in the middle of nowhere. There were a few huts, goats and camels and when u had a closer look you could see all those ...
