Beer Sheva to Eilat

I guided 4 Germans 3 boys and 1 girl from Beer Sheva to Eilat, which was an amazing tour of 4 days and around 300km bicycling. We changed our plan of leaving from TLV due to Annabells graduation party on Wednesday morning, so we desided to take all 5 bicycle down to there and start from there. Tobias and Oliver came to Old Jaffa Hostel the night before to help out with the bicycles and they needed to buy some mattresses and drinking bladders as well.



Around 14:30 we took off from Beer Sheva after packing the bicycles and dividing our stuff and and filling up our bladders with drinking water. We were heading south and into road #40 direction Ein Boque where we stayed under the Sky in our sleeping bags and mattress. We locked the bicycle together and decided to sleep very close together. All night we had a couple of dogs running around and barking off anything that would move, so I didn't get that much sleep. Some of the others had ear plucks so the didn't hear much. The area had a gas station open 24 hours which we used at night time and early morning.



The next day we got up quite early 5:30 to get on the road before it was getting to hot. The target was Mitspe Ramon around 88 km south of Beer Sheva so another 40 km where we found an open restaurant just before coming into Mitspe Ramon. It is a very spiritual place with a really nice feeling. The are serving meals for NIS 48,- per hot meal, such as Princess of the Nile fish couscous, Goulash with rice, chicken with rice.
we asked if we could leave some of our stuff there for taking a bicycle tour to the Mahkesh crater and the visitor center. The price was NIS 23 to get in so we decided just to walk around close to the center and over the bridge from one area of the Crater to the other. On the way we past a repelling station where it is possible to rent equipment. we past the bridge over the road and went to the other side were we met a really nice Israeli couple that gave us some information about the camp ground down in the Crater.

Wedding time in Tel Aviv/ Yafo

Yafo is a beautiful old City and in way the oldest City in the World and right now people are using this beautiful City for weddings. Both Israelis and Arabs are getting married and or holding their wedding and party here in this neighborhood. One way to see the differences between weddings is the Arab weddings have a lot of fireworks. You see women in amazing dresses and beautiful decorated cars driving around with honking horns.
