We had decided to get up early for breakfast and get an early start at the beach. Well, we were up prior to 8am (not too bad), headed down to have our buffet breakfast (it comes with the room) and as we passed through the lobby we saw what seemed to be enough people to fill this hotel, all checking out…. Well, it seems that yes, they were all checking out and second, they got up earlier than we did and ate ALL the breakfast buffet. Even the hot water for coffee and tea was limited and that meant I had to skimp on my “Nescafe”(can you believe Nescafe?). Now to some of you, that just means that you jump into your car, go down the street a block or two and you will find a little coffee shop that will fill your caffeine needs. Well that’s not here…. we only had 20 minutes before our bus was to come and pick us up for the beach so we have learned to just sit back and enjoy what you have now because you it doesn’t do any good to fight it anyway and honestly, it’s still OK. The bus that picked us up was also picking up those that were going diving for the day. The beach that we were going to was set into a cove with a nice sand beach, sparkling clear, turquoise blue water and the dive depot. We found ourselves a great spot to call " with 2 lounges, a large umbrella for shade, and nothing but a full day of sun worshiping ahead. I have always heard that the Red Sea is the premier diving spot in the world and from what I saw today it just may be true. We enjoyed a water temp of about 80-82 degrees and the day temp was 85-90. The bus arrived in time for us to get back to the hotel, shower, change, and head off to dinner by 6:30. Another night of a (1) beer and peanuts and then off for some great shrimp….well, we volunteered to do this you know. I have had some problem getting the Internet Café’s networking system working with my computer so our up-loading has been sporadic and I apologize.
