From the ferry we could see the coasts of Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Israel and Egypt. This is a photo looking back at our departure point in Jordan.


Coming into Taba, Egypt. When we arrived we have just a few little problems. First off, they had no idea what our electrical converter was. They seemed to think it was some kind of devise used in God-only-knows-what. Trying to explain to somewhat that a converter is to convert electrical current from 220 v to 110 v is not easy when there in a language barrier. However, we finally got through that crisis only to end up in another. It turns out that the only people who take the ferry to Taba are those on a group tour who already have their Egyptian visas. As we were neither on a tour or had Egyptian visas, they had no idea what to do with us. After hanging around the ferry terminal for just over an hour, they finally decided they would let us into the country. We were happy to leave even though we still had no visa and no stamp that officially said we had entered the country. We decided that was something we could worry about some other day and off we headed to Dahab.
