Today we got up early and took a taxi and the metro in the city. From the Midan Tahrir we went further by GUC bus. In the university we visited the first workshop, then spoke with the Dean and clarified some Things off - I usually just sat around ... Xenia quickly wrote a resume and will now come on Thursday for an interview. In the evening we went to the dean or drink anything, it was already quite late. So there's a tomorrow ...

resting and washing day

Xenia is now in to look at the university and so I used the time to the pyramids. We went by taxi to the entrance to the Sphinx. Inside, I had to constantly guides Camel drivers, and offers horseback riding get rid of. Pretty exhausting. I then quickly ran back to camp and I go buy something sweet pastries.
Two cyclists have arrived here yet ( www.tobiasquerweltein.de ). With whom I have talked a bit. Xenia came back late, I was already in bed. She has signed the contract and on 1 Begin in March. Until then, we still travel together to Syria. She will then fly back to Cairo from Damascus.

In Carrefour, we now have increased inventories. Then filled up at a gas station two tanks (170 liters for less than 40 CHF - a dream) and out of the city. For a while we went through suburbs (also satellite cities come from Cairo) and then through the desert. Soon came the Hill, where you can see on the Suez Canal down. Funny, when large container ships pass through the desert.
the tunnel, we had to pay £ E then 2 and toll could go under the canal through. At Sinai we went along the coast to the south. We found no useful place to stay for a long time (actually what we were looking with shower, a shower this morning because we do not because of power and water loss could). All hotels and resorts were closed. We drove up to the "Hammam Pharaoh Hot Spring" more. Since warm water pushes out of the ground, but does not go swimming or something. It would have been the cave in there it is warm from the source, but the locals use as a toilet ... So back and bush camping in a quarry.

Today we are up to 1539 meters. At the monastery of St. Catherine (at the foot of Mount Sinai), we found in the "Fox Faraq Camp" is a good accommodation. It was a hot shower and good tea. The green Landy of Luxor is back again. At night it is all of 4 degrees "warm" and we sleep again wrapped with thick socks and hat ...

While we do laundry, I suddenly see Luca (the backpackers from Italy, with which we went on the ship from Halfa to Aswan) pass. A joyful Hello followed by a round of snorkeling on the reef almost before the camp. We see a lot of fish, and even a lion fish. Luca takes pictures with the packed digicam. Xenia and I eat in the evening go well.

Luca met me today at ten, and we went snorkeling in the south of the village. Unfortunately, it has because of the high waves and wind anything we do not stay too long in the water. That's enough to see many fish and even two barracuda. Afternoon we read and we go to eat dinner with Luca. He goes tonight to Cairo on Monday and flies home. By the way, we learned of Luca, that the Germans have found the tractor back her dog! Beautiful!

Friday, 02/12/2010
I wanted to snorkel again, so we are still remained another day. It had hardly any waves and so I enjoyed it very much. I'm back fire fish and a few other things seen. Afternoon we have made a purchase so that we can go tomorrow then.

morning we purchased bread and will soon set off after breakfast towards Nuweiba. There we asked the port for the ferry to Aqaba and are then 'Morgana restaurant down. Here we can still stand on the beach and use shower / WC. Since it's early yet, we want to visit the Coloured Canyon. So 20 km on the remains of the drove road to Suez (as hats washed away much good) and turned at the entrance to the Canyon. The Bedouins, but there did not actually let in without a guide and costs 100 E £ That was us too much, so we are back again.
In Morgan, we have then between Russian tour groups (who come back for lunch when they were in the canyon) drinking a Coke and have a little stroll on the beach. Tomorrow's is now "politically" out of Africa (the Sinai peninsula is indeed geologically already Asia). Let's see if the border settlement here is simpler than in Aswan ...
