Overnight bus rides

As a rule I try to avoid overnight bus rides at all costs. But when it's to escape an annoying guy, than it's worth it. I had yet another guy decide I was the girl of his dream so I had to leave Luxor. He did take me to a wedding party which was very cool to see. But then it was time to leave. I took an overnight bus trip. It was suppose to be 14 hours turn into 20 hours. We were stopped for 3 hours by the police because our driver didn't have the right registration. Considering how brutal a 20 hours overnight bus ride sounds, it wasn't so bad.

Dahab is overrun by tourists. I have to admit that usually I would find that frustrating, but right now it's welcome to be able to wear shorts and nobody cares. Not sure how long I will spend here. Will probably take a refresher diving course tomorrow and then dive. Can't pass it up when I"m in the Red Sea and it's sooo cheap. They place I am staying offers day trips to Petra. I"m trying to decide if it's worthwhile considering will only be there for a few hours. But would be cool to see it briefly. Ok thats it for now.

Hey Pam, hope you continue your enjoyment. The bus does sound inviting considering the circumstance. Will read your blog regularly, bye for now.

Love Mike

Have Mom and Dad emailed you? I don't know whether they got to Costa Rica or not.
