Sharm El Sheikh - The Red Sea

We flew from Luxor to Sharm El Sheikh, on the Red Sea, for a day of relaxation. We’d not even known of this place until we met a guy in the London Heathrow airport who told us about it. Marty attempted to pull a Moses and part the waters, but it didn't work. Anyway, the view from our hotel room was picturesque.


And here’s another shot of the beautiful surroundings.


They have a long floating pier that goes out to a floating platform that has two small swimming pools. I got a picture of it, but then realized there was a topless girl in the shot, so decided not to post it. Anyway, it was cool. It took you out just past the coral reef where you could easily get in to go snorkeling. We didn’t have an underwater camera, but soon discovered that we could take great pics of the fish from above the water off the pier. Coooooool stuff!



An awesome stingray! Never saw one with those colors before.



I think it’s a humuhumunukanukaapuaa! We saw those in Hawaii.




There was a whole family of these lion fish that came to the surface. It was like they were posing for the cameras because everyone was snapping away. None of my pics of all 3 of them came out so well, but I loved this close-up of the most colorful one.


This was the kind of snorkeling even my parents could do... from above the water!
