day 4
today i went diving at the blue hole in Dahbad . its a submerine sinkhole thats about 130 m deep. but i had to have aother person with me due to the fact that a lot of people have died down there. but other than the fact that i could have died it was a amazing experiance. it cost me about $4.61in u.s money

day 5
i stayed in Dahbad for another day. the highlight of my day today was going windsurfing.the cost of the board was about 1.26 in U.S dollars, that adds up to 9 egyptian pounds. its like regular surfing exept that there a sail on your board to make you go alot faster. i fell off a couple times and i though of giving up but i didn't and im glad i did't, it was totaly worth it. did you know it was a fishing village before the popularity grew? tourist site: http://www.egypt.travel/dahab -

today i stayed Marsa alam. its located on the western shore of the red sea. all i did all day was sunbath in one the many beaches they have. it was really nice. i'v gotten really tan. the beach was really nice and seemed to be the place that had the most people. i spent almost $12.00 on drinks and a enter fee today.

day 7
i stayed at kharga today. it was really pretty and relaxing. it was especialy nice at sunset. i was in the town sqaure today and i saw a staue of a woman holding a child, on of the people who lived there told me that the woman was egypt and that the child was the oasis. i love the history of every thing here. i spents around 16 egyptian pounds on tours of the town, but it was worth it.
