Night Time along the Mediterranean Sea

The Mediterranean Sea is amazing. I know I have talked a lot about it and I plan to maintain the discussion about this beautiful place. Look at the title of the blog itself.

Besides swimming in the beautiful blue water in Mersa Metrouh and swimming in the amazing beaches in Alexandria, the Mediterranean Sea offers other things besides just swimming. For example, there is an extremely famous bridge in Alexandria known as "Staley Bridge". This bridge is amazing when you look at it from far away. It's modern looking, yet it still provides an image of older style architecture. Many people arrive to this bridge at night and just sit there. Refreshments such are brought and people just relax there. And if you are on the bridge and look into the distance at night, you will indeed probably find some people taking on the water at night. They don't mind the time, whether it is two in the morning or not, they'll stay there until when the sun arrives if they want to.

Apart from the bridge and the night swimming, you can also stay along the shore and just relax in one of the numerous cafes and places to just relax in. And as I said, you don't have to worry about the time because guaranteed there will be plenty of shops open. There are cafes that offer amazing things ranging from mango juice to tea to many other things that I just can't seem to remember at the moment.

Traffic at night along the Mediterranean in Alexandria especially is also a sight. It is like the people are acting like it is not two in the morning and it is something like ten at night or something. Imagine getting stuck in traffic at two in the morning. I loved Alexandria at night, especially when you are along the Mediterranean. And like I mentioned before in another post, we ended up swimming in one of the beaches there at two in the morning. It was an amazing experience. And the post swimming meal at around five or six in the morning was also amazing. Everyone of us in the group was starving and nothing sounded better than just giving all you got at some shop that offered amazing food.

Alexandria (so I hear) offers plenty of seafood restaurants. I'm not the biggest fan of seafood as I have mentioned before. Nonetheless, I wouldn't mind spending some time at the restaurant to just hangout there at night overlooking the sea. Another thing that I love about the beaches there is that the waves (more in Alexandria than in Mersa Metrouh) is that the waves there offer another form of excitement.

Along the beach also are many different people that walk around ready to sell just about anything. From things to eat to things to wear to things to not even think about buying and so on. I know that may not have made much sense, however explaining it might take a little too long and so I'll just stop here.

Staley bridge, the cafes, the swimming, it all offers amazing things. I love the atmosphere along the Mediterranean Sea.
