Broken crank

The bicycle Raleigh old I bought here in Israel for NIS 150,- (around 35 USD) and drove down to Eilat and Taba on, just broke its crank today. I could start feeling it a couple of days ago, when I bicycled back from Gaash beach North of TLV, the pedal was like not straight and it felt wrong. I made a small bicycle trip today to see by son Raphael in TLV and on the way back it broke, nearly just outside my house, so I could walk the last distance back. I went to a nearby bicycle shop on Jerusalem Street here in Jaffa and asked for the price for a new crank approx. 50,- (13,- USD) and it would take around 1/2 hour.) So it will be done Yom Shishi in Hebrew Friday in English.
