The last trip

The saying time flies when you’re having fun often popped into my head this last week. You see, this week we, as a Garin went to Eilat. Eilat is a beautiful city on the southernmost tip in Israel. This was to be the final trip for the group as a whole. Starting Monday, some of group (2 girls) starts the army. It is still surprising that already two months have gone by, and that now the time is upon us to enter.
As for our trip, it was non-stop fun from beginning to end. We started our trip Tuesday. There is nothing like have a bus for 32 kids and a 6 hour bus ride. One the way to Eilat, we stopped at the chocolate milk headquarters of Israel. There, there is a huge variety of different chocolate milks (regular, dark, vanilla, banana, etc.) There is also a wide verity of ice cream flavors. Of course when you walk in, you feel like a little kid and want to try them all, and we almost did that.
From the chocolate milk factory, we went straight to Eilat. The hostel we stayed at was very nice, but small. The whole place was for us and there is nothing better than 9 male guys squeezed into one room. The room was actually very big and there was enough space. The hostel was also a 15 min walk from the beach front and of course, once our bags were down we all raced off to go to the beach. The only other place where I have seen such clear and beautiful blue water was in curacao. The next day, we took a tour of Eilat by the water front on a boat ride. It was interesting to see Jordan, Saudi Arabia and Egypt all around us.
The highlight of the trip for me was the scuba diving I did. Eilat has a great many areas to scuba dive and of course as a diver I couldn’t pass up the opportunity. It was such a beautiful underwater scene. I saw so many fish, that I have never seen anywhere else that I can’t wait to go back and go down again. If you are ever in Eilat, I strongly recommend going down under the sea to see such a unique and awesome sight.
