Hello friends,
It's been over a month, which is more my style in terms of blog updates. So, quickly, before my internet time expires...
I spent 3 weeks in Dahab, Egypt, getting my Advanced Open Water SCUBA certification and snorkling and being an all around beach bum, my 2nd favorite occupation after world traveling. Was CSing with a very cool Belgian traveler named Thomas, who had come to Dahab to stay for one night... and had been there 3 months. I expected to stay 3 days, so was happy 3 weeks later when Thomas decided to come with me and we escaped Dahab for Cairo. But before that...
We met 3 Swedish boys who came to dive in Dahab, and had been driving a super pimped out land cruiser from Sweden. They are heading overland to Cape Town, and so Thomas and I hitched a ride to Suez and Cairo with them. Called "Team 2Cape", it's likely that I will meet them again along the way and travel with them a bit... perhaps from Ethiopia to Tanzania, or something like that. Check out their amazing pictures of all of us in Egypt at www.2cape.com (use google translator or just click "galleri" and "egypt").
Spent yesterday extending my expired Egyptian visa, today applying for Ethiopian Visa and getting laughed at when I asked for a Sudanese visa. Will leave in a few days for Luxor/Aswan, likely fly over Sudan to Addis Ababa, and then continue south. More updates to come, but now you all know I'm alive...
This is Jess, signing out. Loves to WTK, who I might meet up with again when she comes to Egypt in about a week!
