Mar 29 - Post Office

	City Hall in Eilat. Next our hotel. And changing money. Behind bulletproof glass, just in case, a 9mm Smith&Wesson double action Pistol. Just in case.
	The central post office of Eilat. And a very helpful assistant, Sharon Kadosh, that helped Martin with getting the right kind of stamps. Not easy. 2.40 shekels for Africa and 2.20 for Europe. Nice guy.
	Orange, the cell company in Israel has one of their masts in central Eilat. And the ever present, armed Israeli soldiers, their guns at the ready. Can you find a safer place?
	Magazine details of the M16. Only the elite guys have the new, Israeli made Galil, a rifle that can use AK47 magazines as well. Then with 34 rounds capacity. In South Africa, local produced versions of this rifle is called the R4. The Norwegian flag outside the neighboring hostel.
	Then in the afternoon, Martin had some tanning to do. But the clouds chased him in after 2,5 hours. There were clouds in Eilat. Very rare according to the locals.

The next day, Thursday, Martin attended the orientation meeting for the second time since the first one was so good.
