Red Sea trip photos: liveaboard life
More chilling
Here are some photos that we took during our Red Sea liveaboard trip in October. I hope they give you an idea of what life on the boat was like. I didn’t take any photos at meals because I am not a hipster and I was too busy eating, but I can assure you that the food was magnificent and a central part of the whole experience. You will not lose weight on a holiday like this!
