Sharm el-Sheikh.

A weekend of swimming, snorkeling, going out, and relaxing on the Red Sea.

Our resort, the Domina Coral Bay. The place was beautiful, but the fakeness of it, the built-just-for-tourists of it got to me after a while. But it's still very nice for a few days.




The Domina is so big that it has its own little transportation system, several routes of tok-toks, open-air van things. They proudly declare, "Coral Bay - much better than Dubai." Hmmm, insecure much?




Dandle your desire? Bahahahaha.







Napping on the snorkeling boat after a long night out [for them - I stayed in the first night to do some work].










They warned us to make sure we remembered our boat's name [La Luna], because it's not the only white boat on the water.

The captain sat on our laps [fresh!], and the crew found the bunny ears hilaaaaaarious. [photo by Yasmin]




I have this talent of getting pretty weird tanlines.




I don't know, I think that's a rather shortsighted name for a resort, don't you?




The Arabic reads something like "staarbaks kaafeeh" - the whole thing is just a transliteration, because that's not how you say/write "coffee" in Arabic.




The Sharm branch of Pacha, a club originally from Ibiza. Looked fun, but the music wasn't really my style [a lot of thumpa-thumpa] and I was exhaaaaausted from a general lack of sleep.

Awesome photos my lady! Interested in having some of your photos on my blog at all? I would link back to your site when I use them and maybe our traffic will boom. :) Either way, wish I were with you.

Yeeeeeah, that would be awesome! Let's cross-pollinate, or synergize, or whatever they're calling it these days. Just note that some of the photos were taken by my roommate Yasmin, not me, but they're clearly marked, so if you want to use any of those, let me know, and I can ask her for permission.

I wish you were here, tooooooo! I'd love to share this incredible experience with you. But we will be together again soon enough!!!
