Travel day to Israel and first weekend before Sar-El

Thursday 3. February. Really early wake up and heading to Helsinki-Vantaa airport. Film crew was waiting for me, they made airport reality show and I was one of the passengers. I thought it would be a good idea to talk about Israel and Sar-El. Most embarrassing moments of my life!!! Bimbo alert! I was so nervous I blew up the whole thing. For sure they will use all humorous, silly and stupid scenes on their show. Bummer.

Flights were delayed but still managed to change planes in Vienna. Finally landed in Ben Gurion, Tel Aviv. I thought nothing could beat the embarrassment of that TV-filming, but then I walk through Ben Gurion arrivals hall my skirt rolled up on my waist. Oh well...

Took a train from airport to Tel Aviv. Trains leave from the ground floor at airport, left side. You buy a ticket (14,50 shekels) before entering the platforms and then go down and hop on to train. Ride takes about 10 minutes to HaHagana train station in Tel Aviv, it is next to the CBS (central bus station).

Short walk to CBS, at first I had no idea which way it was, but just follow green stream of soldiers! Go in through security check and took a bus number 44 to Yafo. Usually I stay in Old Jaffa Hostel, here is few pictures:

Friday 4. February. Slept 12 hours like a baby in a dorm (10 girls). Weather felt cold and I was glad I brought my woolen socks with me. Breakfast is included, there is coffee, tea, bread and jams on the roof terrace. It was raining a little bit but still went outside for a walk. I've walk Yafo-Tel Aviv beach promenade so often, this time decided to go south, Yafo-Bat Yam.

When I was coming back a car stop next to me. This man introduced himself. 45 years old, divorced, two kids, not looking for a marriage, has a cottage in Holon. I was like WHAT! And then I realize he wanted sex. Oh no! I will never out again alone.
I had some strawberries and listen to conversation next to me. These Danish girls went to visit West Bank and they had brochures from some organisation, they did not want to take this material with them to the airport as the were leaving. So this man from Berlin agreed to post booklets for them. Uh...

Saturday 5. February. Last night I went early to bed and slept 13 hours. Sleeping is the best thing I know. Now weather is better and no need for a coat. I met this boy from Australia, he wanted direction to Yafo port so I went with him.

This was so cool! We climbed through a wall to wave breaker! It was so nice, you people have to go in there! Amazing and beautiful!




Tip of the wave breaker:
Enter via this and climb flat rack and ladders to get in:
Old Yafo:
After this pleasant adventure I met old man (he said he was 112 years old) from Scotland and we had couple drinks. Finnish and Scottish know how to drink.
I also received a message from Finland my dear grandmother died.
