I hesitate a
lot between staying there for a while or immediately going back to Syria and
spend the last days there but I fly back from Amman and it will cost less to stay
there and enjoy the Royal Diving Center facilities. Today I buy a
disposable camera for underwater to take pictures from all the fishes that I
meet. I spend hours and hours in the water completely fascinated by the
variety of species that we can see there.
One
underwater encounter near the Royal Diving Center Theses days
at the beach and in the water go very very quickly.
One
underwater encounter near the Royal Diving Center On Monday, I say
goodbye to Aurelien and Lydia who leave Aqaba for Amman. Tonight I drink beer
with the French that I met in Dana and Petra and with a couple of Dutch
people who decides like me to enjoy the beach and relax next to the Red Sea. On Tuesday, I
make this day trip on a boat to snorkel on 5 spots. I am with 4 Polish, 1
Spaniard, 2 Hungarian and 2 Japanese. The expedition is a little bit
deceiving because we only snorkel on 1 very attractive spot (Japanese
gardens). The other ones are not really nice or we just go over without
stopping like the spot where a boat has been sunk. On Tuesday
evening, I am preparing my leaving to Amman by bus. I smoke one last
Narguileh on the terrace and I sleep next to 2 Australian who are going to
Egypt tomorrow morning. |
