Summing it all up.
 

Apr 4 - Red Sea again !

Or so Martin thought. Trip cancelled due to heavy winds. Worst one so far this year, Martin was told by the locals.

On the way to the non-running boat, Martin went past the most unfriendly place in Eilat. An information counter. Any question you ask you get the same answer: We open next week. With a grumpy, unfriendly and hateful stare from the female manager. Israeli information services doesn't need bitches like these. Get rid of her!

Main street behind Spring Hostel. Also main business street in old Eilat.

Airport in the middle of town is unique. Great fun. For how long? Locals says they talked for 30 years, and may talk for another 30 before anything happens.

Shiran, the most delightful and caring waitress I ever met in Eilat. Very concerned about my early morning beer. She was a great pleasure and got a great tip. Worthy so.

Shiran and her non-English coworker, Shahar.

Martin enjoying a great Israeli breakfast. Superb food. Lasted for the whole day until 2000 hours.

The wind was very heavy. Norwegian flag in the wind.

And youngsters out running with their instructor. Fine kids.

The swell was great. A heck of a wind coming in from the Red Sea.

And no Zorba, understandable enough. To heavy wind gust. Got some spray on the lens of Martin's camera.

After picking up the US $ 28,- for the cancelled boat trip, it was back to Spring Hostel.

Here, the ever friendly receptionist was, as always, busy doing his job. Pity having a boss like Gaddi. Frustrated guy with a broken arm and bad temper. Meyer though, always smiled.

A very pleasant surprise. Martin's first female cab driver, his age and above all, from Johannesburg! Great fun and rather homely from Martin's 12 years in Johannesburg, South Africa. Her name was Lyn(ette). If you ever are in Eilat, call her for a cab at 0528 222 904 if you want a friendly pleasant drive. Martin had one ;-))

Cute toddler outside Pierre.

Mom and toddler just outside Fawlty Towers.

Walters friend. So-called artist friend.

A saxophonist playing outside Boston Fish and Steakhouse at the waterfront. Very pleasant music. A welcome change to the modern-day hammering music you hear all over the show.

And the illustration outside the restaurant, a boat with the appropriate name of Boston, Mass.

And since the breakfast was so hefty, no lunch needed and only some bread for dinner. More than sufficient.

The Boss of Boston and Martin saying farewell for this time. I'll be back.

The next day it was time to depart for Norway
