Day 7 I can't believe it has already been a week, the time is just flying by. That was until today... Today was probably the slowest day of the trip so far. That is not to say that today was unenjoyable. After yet another late lazy wake up, I chilled around the house watching some tv and stuffing around on skype. Eventually I made it out of the house and met gav for a nutritious breakfast of Pizza by the beach. The next 6 hours of my day was spent either in t...

Day 6 A late breakfast and good chill was exactly what was needed this morning. After the hike last night I was completely stuffed and so I took it easy. However by 11:30, Magal, Aravah, Avishag and I were back in the car, headed towards a place near the dead sea, called Boqeq revine. Here we walked up through a small river to a waterfall stopping for swims along the way. It was amazing to swim in this refreshing river right in the middle of a desert. We hea...

Day 5 After the first late wake up of the trip we packed our bags and got ready to leave tel aviv for the weekend.

Once we arrived, there were quick hellos to Moti, Mau, Leeati, Magal and the girls, and then we w...

Day 4 Shalom lacoolam (hello everyone)As you all can tell my Hebrew is improving quick :). Hopefully by the end of the trip we can get a full entry in Hebrew. Today we woke up early and flew out the door. Shira and Ziv dropped us at Reading bus station where we managed to do the most touristy thing possible and catch a roofless bus around the city. We were on the first tour of the day so the bus was pretty empty which was nice. Once the tour had shown us every...

Day 3 We woke up bright and early for our first day in Israel and decided to head for the beach. After getting our bearings right we walked for what seemed like hours an eventually made it to dizengoff and met Gav. After grabbing a quick bite we finally made it to the beach... The walk was definitely worth it. We swam, we tanned and we played Wababa. This completely made up for the lack of Australian summer. When we realized we could only stay on the beach s...
