Egypt - part 3
One of the things we did was driving quads in the desert. It was really fun and the environment is awesome, especially when you are in the middle of nowhere and don't see anything else than desert no matter where you look. It felt like being in a video game! It was really worth it! We drove until we reached a Bedouin village where we got to ride on camels and hear about the Bedouin way of life, before we drove back again.
The Red Sea is full of life. It almost makes the Adriatic Sea, which I'm used to, look dead in comparison. In Makadi Bay there are corals everywhere, even in the shallowest water, and you don't even have to snorkel or get water up to your stomach to see fishes in all different colors. After we had been snorkeling for a while (unfortunately we were too much of cowards to dive in deeper water), we waded out again to take some photos. It was then when we saw some big fishes we were NOT prepared to see. Thank God that I didn't see them while I snorkeled, I would have probably died of a heart attack. Afterwards, we got to know that the bluespotted stingray (on the picture) is toxic. That was pretty much it for us... back to the Adriatic Sea. But it was still very cool!
The last day was just chaos and a real "hangover day" when we didn't know whether to laugh or cry. There was something wrong with our toilet that overflowed and surprised us with a flooding in our room when we woke up. Aida was totally sunburnt and behaved like a vampire who can't stand sunlight, I got a fever and stomach problems and eventually even Jasmin and Erna started to feel bad. It was comedy at the airport. But even that was a part of our wonderful trip and the last day is the one we will laugh at the most when we look back at our vacation.
