Day 138:

A do-nothing day today. I am waiting for my bus to Dahab. I strolled a bit, down the main promenade to a nice Internet cafe and then to a pizza and pasta restaurant that I found last night. Good food. Good prices, too.

I took a little boat trip around the river, but cut it short because the boat tout kept making annoying conversation as I tried to read my book. He insisted that we go in his "motorboat" rather than in a Felluca, which also pissed me off.

I'll miss the falafel place down the street from my hotel. The guys that run that restaurant are pleasant and the food I've eaten there has been good enough to help me get my appetite back. I lost it, as you may remember, way back in Dharamsala. I've lost a bit of weight since then, and am looking a bit too frail for my own good.
