I spent the morning resting at the beach.  Bus departs from Eilat at 2:30pm.  I have to say that I was a bit nervous during this five hours trip, who knows if a bomb will go off.  By the time I got to Tel Aviv, is about 8:00pm.  Thanks to a local girl, who directs me to a minibus, which takes me to the HaYarkon 48 Hostel.

This hostel has five floors, indeed, it is the largest hostel I have ever stayed.  Many travelers stay here for long time, and almost every day, various local shops will come here to look for short term workers.  I met John in my room, he has been in Tel Aviv for two years and has been working as a painter, earning NIS20 per hour.  According to him, it is nice money!

Tel Aviv is another big city.  I think it is also a tourist place under normal political situation.  So many luxory hotels and high class restaurants along the beach.  Walking along the beach under the moon is quite relaxing.

 


Today's Tips:
* Tel Aviv bus station is a hugh station with five levels!!  You can find numbered mini-van everywhere.  Different number goes to different route.  Local can be helpful.  Don't trust taxi drivers, just like any other places, they want your money.
* HaYarkon 48 Hostel costs NIS20 a bed. It has a bar right next door.

Today's Expenses (US$1 = NIS4): US254
* Breakfast: NIS14
* Food and Water: NIS20
* Internet: NIS2.5
* Bus to Tel Aviv from Eilat: NIS55
* Mini Van from Bus Station to hotel: NIS10
