Aug 7th Cairo to Dahab, Egypt
One hour later after I wrote my entry from last night, we got on a night bus and went Dahab, Egypt. The reason why me and my mom left Cairo is because Cairo was a bit scary.And because it was so aggressive there, the traffic, the people..it felt like my brain was starting to split apart and I told this to my mom all kind of delerious. I also told her
Cairo was making me feel homesick like I wanted to go home. So my mom, like a good follower, took Nico the great to a place that resembles the Bahamas but is known in Egypt for it's coral reefs and diving. WE were on the bus ride and it was about eight hours. I slept for about 6 hours. When we arrived at our location I had to go to the bathroom so bad that we had to stop by a nearby camp. There were 3 bathrooms and luckily one was open. The damage I did on the bathroom was devestating. After I was done my mom brought me took me to a pharmacy where my mom got me diareea pills. The pills were huge and hard to swallow.
WE looked around for a good place to stay. Alot of them were really bad and cheap, or really good and cost alot. But we found a hotel that was just right for us. When we were done wewent snorkeling and made friends with the dive master inside of the shop. The place that we went snorkeling was very fun and it looked cool. There were tiger fishes, and fishes with bright colors, blue and green. But me and my mom went a bit too far and I saw 2 jellyfish swimming by. I looked back at them for a second. Then when I looked forwardI saw a school of them. When one of them stung me I screamed. The pain felt like two bee stings. When my mom heard me scream she didn't know why I was screaming untill she got stung too. WE swam as fast as we could back to the beach. WE were done then so we returned the stuff. While we were walking back to the hotel a little girl tried to sell us a braclet.
She said name you price... I said "five pounds" she said, "ten" then when we began to walk away she said "ok". The braclet I got is really good and I like it.
WE went back to the hotel and I played some chess. Then me and my mom went out to go eat at a place that had pasta. Where I got pasta with spicy sauce on it which isn't really good if you have diareah but I ate it all because I was hungry. As we were walking back my mom just had to stop inside a perfume shop. The guy kept offering her cigaretts and I think it was just so she would stay longer. That day she smoked seven cigarettes when she usually only smokes two. I didn't like the perfume guy because he was twichy like a crackhead. He kept sniffeling and blinking every 5 seconds. My mom ended up buying some perfume bottles from this guy. Then the guy offered me one of these bottles for free. So I took it even though I didn't want it. Then we went home to bed.
