Day 80 Saturday 05/12/09

After packing up and checking out of the camp, we drove to Dahab to meet JC. On the way we drove into the desert to visit the Blue Valley, so called after a Belgium artist painted some of the rocks in the valley blue.

We drove for about 1 hour along easy desert tracks into the blue valley. It was a beautiful, peaceful place and we parked up to cook some food and have a chill-out. At one point a pick-up of Bedouin stopped and had a quick chat (and checking our passports) before leaving us.

After EP drove out of the desert, we carried on the road to Dahab, past a few checkpoints. Arriving in Dahab we booked into the Penguin Hotel, where JC was staying. We got B&B for E£120 and could get Wifi for E£10 per day!

Dahab is described as a laid-back resort and certainly has that feel.
