Location: Legend of the Seas [Day 9]
Location: Safaga, Egypt [Didn’t visit]
Today was my birthday. Happy birthday to myself! (I’m 27–if you are curious–which is my lucky number.)

After a tiring day at Jordan, I decided that I would stay on board for the day and skip the Valley of the Kings. (Yes, I can hear you gasp.)
OK OK… I decided to skip the day on shore because I want to save money. Besides, being on board is less boring than you think.
The day passed with a lot of reading and sitting in social sessions. I like the reading part but forced myself to do more social things.
In the evening, there was a theater screening of Les Miserables which made the day even better than it was.

At night, I gave rock climbing another try. The first time I tried rock climbing, I gave up halfway. This time, I was sent to the beginner’s lane.
About 2 squares before the bell, I wanted to give up but a lady I met cheered me on. I didn’t want to embarrass myself any more so I pulled up the few rungs and rang the bell with much gusto.
Before we leave, here is a badly stitched up photo of Safaga port.
