The Red Sea

Near the end of our trip we took a couple of days to relax on the beach. I never really thought of the red sea as a beach destination but take a look at some of the photos, The place was beautiful.



This was the entrance of the resort


Here is the view out our window of the room we stayed in for two nights.


This one shows the different colors that you can see of the water.


Relaxing on the beach. We thought Suzanne's dad would be proud of the straw hat with the big brim to keep the sun out.



Between the resort and the little town we found some nice flowers to take a picture beside.


We got the opportunity to go para sailing while we were there. This was a really neat experience.



We got the person reeling out the rope to take some pictures while we were in the air.



This rope was 100 meters long. For those who don't think in meters that's about 300 feet high. That is really high. It was quite amazing looking at the sea and the beach from high up.



Touching the water. If the boat driver times it right you can touch the water and then get back up.



After our flight, hanging out in the boat in all our gear.
