Time to kick back for a few days. Kim wanted some beach time on this trip so we moved to Hurghada on the Red Sea coast. A noted snorkel and diving location, we went to crash out on the beautiful sand after a busy trip.
The drive from Luxor took about four hours, which could be better described as three hours of driving and one hour of speed bumps. Many bumps in populated areas which got better once we left the Nile River Valley. The only real pain was when we stopped half way at a rest stop where the sales folk were on us like flies. Just wanted to sit with some coffee… I finally had enough and beat a hasty retreat outside.
The terrain became more mountainous as we approached the coast, a nice change. For four hours in a van it went by fast.
