It’s been a month since my last confession – people staying and places to see – it’s been a good month. I finally have my bike licence and driving licence!!!!
Egypt is definitely good for me, all I need now is an income. My depression is well and truly behind me and I continue to heal well.
I went down to Safaga one day with Sayid and snorkelled off the beach while he collected coral sand for the aquarium – while I’ve been on dive trips and boat trips out here I’ve never seen anything like the reefs off the shore there. 25km south of Safaga, nothing but desert and it was like swimming in a filled aquarium. I floated in serenity and peered back at a turtle who was watching me.
I also went out with Sayid when they were collecting fish for the aquarium. The reef wasn’t particularly lively, but Amgad speared a parrot fish and we cooked and ate that on the boat, and collected giant clams.
I’ve developed the software and website for Red Sea Dolphin now but they don’t have the money to pay me for it at the moment, so that’s on hold.
While visiting Steve and Marie at the Oasis Resort I pulled into their car park and hit a patch of loose sand, so I now have a wound above my ankle where I burnt it on the exhaust of the bike. It’ll be a few weeks before that heals up I think.
I’ll try and keep on top of the blog for those of you with an interest.
Mah a salama
