Felt like a tourist yesterday ...

Yes there was some diving done yesterday but it was all overshadowed by the boys’ night out. Pedro took Stephane and Magali to Seven Sisters and the Tank while Obada showed me a new site New Canyon; this is now my favourite site in Aqaba. On the 2nd dive I took everybody from the 1^st dive to New Canyon, just before we started off Charbel from Lebanon joint us. If you wonder where Graham was during all this, he is back at the village still suffering from the flu so no diving for him until it has cleared.

With the theme song “The boys are back in town” we headed off for a night in town. We headed straight to one place, Up Stairs Restaurant a place I saw last week on a quick trip to town. I was after lamb chops like a kid is after candy, so the rest of the guys did not have a chance to choose anywhere else.

Local appetisers - Yum

 Fries and ketchup - mmm

 It seems like all local salads are chopped and diced.

 Local bread – we call it hat bread as it looks like a hat.

 This looks like the closest thing I will get to a braai (barbeque).

Just look at this feast – yum yum yum. This is what I have been waiting for since last week Sunday.

 This is a close up of the lamb chops for 3.5JD, worth every penny.

Just some free marketing for Up Stairs Restaurant, and I will not even get a free chop out of it.

Then we ran into Magali who dived with us earlier in the day and her boyfriend at Ali Baba Restaurant a local tourist hangout and decided to join them for a beer.

Here we are enjoying some local beers, Philadelphia 5% and Petra 8% and it is not bad, would not recommend it but it is worth a try.
