To end my blogs about our trip to Israel's Red Sea here are some photos of Everyday Eilat.
In Holland we had planned to set up camp next to the hotel swimmingpool while on a week long holiday in Eilat and we ended up driving 700 km.
- - - btw, we did try the swimming pool, honestly!, but the water was horribly cold and loud elevator music droned on relentlessly. Then, dragging the sun beds out of the shadow or single-handedly closing the sun screen was Not Permitted, and all in all this swimmingpool thing was simply boring.
Our curiosity got the better of us and you've all been reading what we did instead.
Between our trips into the country we visited the city of Eilat.
The chique and the worn down suburbs, the wide streets and the large, empty stretches of sand we saw everywhere waiting to be - - well, sorry, we don't know. People use them as car parks.
We shopped at Israeli and Russian supermarkets and came home with 10 kilo worth of food: strange and unknown, or known but way cheaper than in Holland (anyone for tahini? I got loads of it).
At night we strolled along the streets of central Eilat with the Israeli, who were doing their shopping
or just enjoying the hustle and bustle of a warm evening in a city in the Middle East.
A city unknown to us, and also a city we couldn't 'place' in the countries we've been during our travels.
I hope we've given you a good impression of Eilat and it's surroundings.
As always we very much enjoyed ourselves, and as always I very much enjoyed myself telling you about it.
We'll keep in touch!
