Just before we left Zurich we had time for a short play. Just as well, with 1hr and 20 min transfer in Frankfurt it was run, run,run. Paul even asked an idling golf buggy cart driver for a lift but he had just been called to a job.Thank goodness for Trunki.. Daniel clung on for dear life as we sprinted ! If you have ever transferred in Frankfurt you know what I am talking about. Tel Aviv flights also have their very own security clearance just to get you acclimatised to entering the country... so everyone gets a pat down, including the kids. Onward flight was smooth. As was the car rental and drive to apartment, helped it was the day of rest and roads were desserted. (So far we have only got lost twice... only used the car twice as well!!)
Practise therapy session... yes this is our apartment or as we like to refer to it "Daniel's personal playground" Unfortunately we are also sharing with several cockroach familllies!!! Argh, if anyone has heard our honeymoon story about the small animal feeding in the cupboard ... we are now starring in the sequel! Just been delivered an SOS bottle of "Mosquito" spray.... they are 2 inches long and don't fly!!! They have promised action in the morning, A long night to continue blogging.
On a brighter note, here are Paul and Daniel leaving the apartment this morning for our first adventure out. Beautiful weather, sea, boats, beach round the corner. All very mediteranean like, as are the people. First impressions of the country so far are good, and people seem to be friendly, and helpful. From limited experience today, everyone is scanned on entering public places eg shopping centre. Our car was searched too! So is it a safe country? In the supermarket probably. Whilst enjoying one of our vices ... Espresso coffee, we were presented with a menu, I only knew this because it had prices on it. Everyone speakes English but everything isn't always written in it! Meals out could be interesting. We have already had a "wrap" from some "grannies" with a makeshift stall (they spoke English) but we did have something unrecognisable spread onto the wrap. It was very tasty! We will probably visit the granny stall again.Big day tomorrow, starting early. Day will hopefully include a good therapy session, a visit from pest control and trip to beach.
sounds like you are having an adventure. Hope the first session has gone well
