Sharm Hotel and Submarine ride

 The Hotel at Sharm
As amazing as the hotel in Luxor was, the hotel in Sharm is even more spectacular. The lobby itself is breathtaking and we have a beautiful view of the pool and Red Sea from our balcony. We enjoyed most of the first day just looking at the pretty fish swim close to us. One fish was quite aggressive and took a liking to nibbling on our legs. He did not hurt, it just startled me the first time.

It is so weird being in a place where your native tongue is not the one that is spoken most frequent. We did meet a very nice lady from Australia, she mentioned how it was nice speaking english to someone besides her husband.










Submarine Ride
The pictures we took in the submarine do not show half of the brilliance that the fish and coral had in real life. We saw many jellyfish that are actually not poisonous. There was one type of fish that looked like a parrot....guess what he was a parrot fish lol. In fact there are 4 types, I think. He had many beautiful bright colors and what appeared to be a beak. My favorite part was when we came across a large school of fish. They would sometimes come right up to the window. It felt like we were the "human aquarium" and they were the onlookers. All in all, it was a great time! We snorkeled today and will do so tomorrow. I'll make a post about all of that together
