More - Diving the Red Sea

A quick OK ! I am good to go into the cave.
What a wonderful experience.
Sometimes mistakes happen (note the tank trying to float away)
We encountered a 2 meter moray eel and he was scary, but the 2 meter Napoleon Maori Wrasse is very gentle.
He came so close I could not get all of him in the camera lens. He was a beauty.
That is it folks we are done for with diving from now on the water is getting colder as we move North and the temp are also getting cooler as Spring is arriving in Europe. Hope you enjoyed visiting some of the best dive sights in the world.

Welcome to Egypt

Waiting for my Egyptian breakfast two bean dips, falafal, and pita. It was tasty for less than $3 each.
Come see my shop and take time for an Egyptian facial free! I also have spices, perfume &............so much more.

Kerala - House Boating

We spent a night on the house boat cruising the lake & the canal. It was so relaxing and beautiful as the weather was very warm and the water very calm.

Along the way we passed many rice paddy's.This is the way of life along the canals.

Typical wash day.........Women washing and the men watching.
The canals were numerous and connected forming a highway for many kilometers of Kerala.

The school boat dropping kids off at school.

The crayfish. Our first meal was fresh fish.

The sun is setting. Time to dock for the night.
