The ORCA Dive Club Coral Garden

After I was done chilling, I looked around the hotel and found it peacefully calm. Nobody was around. As the receptionist told me, there were only 3 people including me at the moment in the hotel. Tonight, there would be two new arrivals but until then, the hotel was basically mine alone. So cool!
Once I was done with my tour, I made myself ready for dinner. As we were only 3 people, we didn't get a buffet but could choose from the menu they had. And I had to choose a lot. First soup, then a salad, afterwards some falafel and a fruit platter for dessert. I won't go to bed hungry tonight, I guess...
After choosing my dinner at the bar, I went upstairs to the restaurant and was seated at a huge table, all on my own. Okay, not weird at all.
However, two minutes later, the other two guests arrived. It was a sweet couple in their fifties and they asked if I'd like to eat with them right away. André and Karin were such great companions and soon enough, we realized that they were customers of ours! What a great coincidence. We ate our way through way too much food, as the staff must have thought we'd starved just as they did all day long (because of Ramadan). We talked about our professions and the country and food and how they did a trip to Luxor and how interesting the culture is. And after we were nearly exploding, we decided to go play some billard. As this is usually a game only for two, Karin and I went along to play as a team against André. We won the first round, he won the second one. Afterwards, we sat done at the weird moving table and discussed the pyramids and how freaking smart the Egyptians have been all these centuries ago. It was after 10pm, when we finally said goodnight and I sneaked back out to the puppy. This time, she wasn't so afraid of me any more and I could pet her. I named her Mila. She is just a Mila, I don't know why I knew that. It broke my heart to leave her behind for the night.Read more
