fri, 11 july, pt. 4

We were trying to get in Tel Aviv. Late at friday evening we took sherut from Nahariya to Haifa. Driver said there is no other possibility to get from Haifa to Tel Aviv but take a taxi. We did not think it was a good idea, and decided to stay in Haifa for the night. Called our friend, but no answer. Great, what now? Sleep in the park? In beach? No way! We waved taxi to stop, asked could he take us somewhere cheap hostel or hotel just for one night. Taxi driver was really nice man, he drove us around Haifa for free and took us to his home to sleep for 150 shekels. His family was in Paris at the time. He had three storey house in hills. We got the ground floor for ourselves with two bedrooms, furnished and all equipments. We almost could not understand how kind and helpfull he was. We got hot shower to wash that sand away and soft bed to sleep. View from his terrace:

In the middle you see black area with no lights. Huge green and blue tanks are fuel, so there have to safe area around them in case something would happen.

Living room in upper floor, really nice:
