Woke up at 3 o'clock in the morning and
packed the few rests of my gear into my already stuffed suit case.
Johanna and Jon picked me up at about 4 o'clock (after I fed the
cats) and we set of towards Stuttgart airport after somehow getting
my case and me in to Johannas small VW Fox.
Spent a while on the A7 motorway and
had to find a way around a bypass on the road. Got lost in the fog a
bit, but found our way thanks to the navi.
Arrived at our parking space and caught
a shuttle to the airport, where we managed to get through check in
and security after repacking some stuff of mine in to Johannas and
Jons suitcases. I had overfilled mine a bit with to much diving gear
and electronics.
Got on to the air plane without a hitch
and spent four and a half hours flying to Marsa Alam. Had a small
snack to eat on the way and 100ml of water but nothing else.
Landed and where hit by 27°C air
temperature when we stepped out of the doors. Managed to get to the
hotel with our suit cases fixed to the roof of our bus and where
greeted by a friendly reception. The hotel (The Three Corners
Equinox) had just been opened a week ago and was still being repaired
from its previous neglected state. Had a drink, some cool towels
whilst filling out our details for the hotels. Found our rooms, got a
few things unpacked and went to the diving base to say hi to
Mohammed, Sala and the rest of the crew. After that Johanna and I
abandoned Jon to office work, whilst we went to swim in the sea.
Mohammed commented it as being cold, at 26°C water temperature. Saw
four fire fish, a puffer fish and a flute fish just whilst
snorkelling. Got out, went for a shower and had some drinks before
eating. Ate a super meal in the evening, thank god they renovated the
hotel and had some more drinks with a shopping spree and a game of
checkers after that. Back to the room for the blog write.
Looking forward to the next few days.
