Suez

We hadn't planned to stay in Suez, but after a 7 hr bus trip we were ready for a break. Amazingly, our talented 'egg man' at the hotel in Dahab was on our bus and very kindly arranged for us to meet a childhood friend of his who not only found us a decent hotel but also took us out for dinner, showed us around some local businesses and took us to the famous Suez Canal. It was quite surreal seeing these huge cargo ships apparently 'floating' through the desert. It was one of those really fun days on the road that is simultaneously totally random and entirely fun. It has also induced a number of kushari cravings.
