Today turns out to be a loooooong traveling day.
Our plan is to go to Nuweiba where we can catch the ferry to Jordan. We’ve been told it leaves around 1:00pm, but you’re supposed to arrive 2 hours early to go through customs, etc. So we’re hoping to catch the 8:00am bus to get us there with plenty of time to get organized.
Unfortunately there’s no bus that goes to Nuweiba, so we’re forced to hire a private minivan, which is both expensive and a pain in the butt. Eventually we’re able to find a couple other people to split the cost with us and we finally leave town around 9:00am.
We arrive at 10:30am but as it turns out, the ferry doesn’t actually leave until 3:00pm, which turns into boarding at 4:30pm, sitting in the harbour until 5:30pm-ish and then finally moving at 6:00pm.
We finally arrive in Jordan at 8:00pm, get through the cluster-f**k of a visa system at 9:00pm and check into our guesthouse at 9:30pm. And since there’s a time-change between Egypt and Jordan, it’s now technically 10:30pm.
So now we’re really hungry.
Solving this is the easiest task of the day – we walk down the street and grab a couple of shwarmas with two German guys we met while waiting for the ferry.
