Very nice little coastal resort on the Red Sea with views to the Sinai and only 20km to the Saudi border which is of course not open to the infidels;-) Very nice ride going along the ocean, I was thinking things were going really smoothly easily cruising at over 40kph until I saw the flapping flags of the marina club. I knew then it would be a somewhat unpleasant ride back and I wasn't disappointed! The wind was blowing hard and steady and needless to say, the ride back was somewhat of a chore. Still, there will be days like this so it's good to be reminded of it. The drive back up north on the Dead Sea Highway was quick and uneventful. It's the desert with hardly a soul in sight and 400m downhill from sea level. The plunge in the Dead Sea was quite fun, floating like a cork in water but the salty coating afterwards doesn't feel so nice.
