Tel Aviv

Where we stayed - Hayarkon 48 Hostel

It was a very welcome breath of fresh air to finally arrive in Tel Aviv. Tel Aviv appears to be everything that Jerusalem isn't. It's modern, it's young and it certainly isn't conservative! It has beautiful long white sandy beaches packed full of people tanning their bodies with the smallest amount of swimming costumes on as possible and it is also home to the most expensive McDonalds we've ever had (AU$50 for 2 happy meals and 2 combos).

We spent our days in Tel Aviv at the beach, swimming the the warm Mediterranean sea and playing in the sand. It was a lovely break from the monotony of travelling and the kids had a great time just chillin' out.

From Tel Aviv we headed south to Eilat. We spend the night in this uber expensive resort town before crossing the border into Egypt.
