Wandering the Wilderness - our style

The Israelites were punished by God and made to "wander in the wilderness forty years". It was into that wilderness of Sinai that Mark and I set forth.

Of course, don't get going on whether it was really that particular spot, and for how long it was that spot or whatever. In fact, when I went to go check the wandering location of wanders, I found several web sites, but was most entertained by the definitive tone of this compendium (http://www.earth-history.com/Various/Compendium/hhc2ch16.htm) which actually indicates that little wandering was done in this region, with most of it out near my posting of a while back, Petra. I mean... COMPENDIUM??? Who uses such words anyway!?!

So, back to Sinai.........

After catching a fast moving, road wandering, headlight flashing van at the border between Egypt and Israel, we enter the Sinai Penninsula and make our way south through Taba and down to Dahab.

Once there, we check in to our resort hotel, which offered comfortable lodging at a reasonable price with a dive shop on location :)

Checking our gear - BWRAF!


This dive spot is called Moray Gardens. We did two dives here. The coral was beautiful, and the sea life better than anywhere I've been so far. One of my favorites was watching a small octopus change colors with his environment.
