Stop off in Dahab

KML 28.491, 34.516

On my way to Mount St. Katherine, Egypt, and possibly the world’s, oldest monastery.

Dahab I was expecting like Sharm, or an old town. Turned out to be an old town.

Here I stopped for some lunch, a haircut and to buy some CD’s for the journey.

Dahab was a pleasant town, less low-key than Sharm. The beach is pebble, so I doubt that it would have attracted the same level of interest as Sharm which has lengthily sandy beaches set against resort after resort.

Dahab is not like that.

I could find more in Dahab and faster, so it made a good stop over point and I got all the things done I wanted to do, here’s some shots of Dahab.

The restaurant I stopped in was called Mummy Funny, I had a Hallal Kebab, which, I guess is an Egyptian meal.
It was beef in spicy sauces with peppers (capsicum), potatoes fried in cumin, served with rice and salad.

Took me 5 minutes to eat it and it went down a treat.

Budva – Montenegro

KML: lat – 42.27939 lon – 18.83721

Budva is a vibrant, wealthy beach town.
It’s a party town. There are yacht’s parked in the marina, there are Porsche’s in the car parks and there are notoriously good looking Serbian women walking the streets.

I’ve it weren’t for the Russian dancing music, I would have forgot I was in CEE.
