Steinbergs in Israel - Eilat

Drove down to Eilat this morning. Left Ein Gedi around 11 and arrived at 2.30. It was a fairly easy drive and on the way we were absorbed by the breathtaking views of the mountains and canyons surrounding us. In fact we drove into a white chalk canyon about a 1/2km after the turn off to Massada. We got some beautiful pictures in there. The Edom mountains in Jordan are also spectacular - very very tall. And if you want a dunny in EinBokek that you don't have to pay for (2shek's pp in the mall!) then the Crowne Plaza performed a great service for free.

Anyway, just at this second it's 8pm and we're sitting on the Eilat beach under a blue lit umbrella sipping a beer and gin&tonic while the girls play by the lapping waters of the gulf of aqaba. Hotel California is playing in the background. This is awesome.

We arrived today at the Hilton Queen of Sheba hotel, situated on the foreshore of Eilat beach. We've had a swim in the pool already - it is a fabulous place. I think this place is probably a much better experience now as opposed to during peak season with throngs of people and awful heat. It is warm and pleasant and we feel like we have the whole place to ourselves.

Going back to our room now. Very content.
See ya. Luv ya.
