Vaca Part two and three

Our campsite and view
After 3 fantastic nights in Sharm enjoying all the perks and pleasures of 5 star living we moved on to the other extreme of camping in utter and beautiful isolation. The scenery above the water was barren and simple and absolutely untouched and under the water an explosion of creativity on God's part; abounding in color and variety and thick with fish. We camped right on the shore and our Bedouin hosts prepared all our meals and a campfire for us every evening. The adults loved it I am not sure if the kids were as enthused or appreciative of the experience.

Next we drove about an hour and half down the coast to Dahab a left over hippie town with a totally different vibe to it than the more touristy and glitzy Sharm. The place I normally stay at here seemed to lose our reservation but this turned out to be a blessing in disguise. We found a MUCH nicer much better located hotel with a much better pool so everyone is happy on all counts. So far we have contented ourselves with snorkeling but tomorrow GJ and Jonathan and I will go diving. I have not dived in years so hopefully it will come back to me easily. Caleb has really gained confidence in both his swimming and snorkeling, he is working on overcoming his fear of the fish when they swim near. Everyone but me saw an octopus today.
