The seat actualy laid down flat and we were both able to sleep some. I watched two and a half movies, hopefully I can finish the one on the way home next weekend.
These are the Gaurus Mountains that Gail could see as we flew in over Turkey.
Here's proof we arrived :) Our bags were the LAST to come off the carosel, we had actually started wondering if they were lost.
We had a New York City style cab ride to our hotel where we quickly settled in and then left again for a taxi ride to Jaffa which is one of the oldest ports in the world and is spoken of in the Old Testament of the Bible.
These rocks were right at the entrance to the harbour protecting it very well. They are called Andromeda Rocks and are related to Greek Mythology involving sacrificial virgins and rescuing heros. We saw none of that today.
Here's one of several Mosques we saw.
and the famous clock tower.
and the view back to Tel Aviv from Haifa. We took a taxi over but it was about a 3kms walk back to our hotel along the beach. We dipped our hands in the Mediterranean before we came back inside.
So now we're back in the room vegging before going out to suppper. We're thinging about walking a few blocks to eat but right now it's raining so we may end up staying in the hotel. Then it will be off to bed for a well deserved sleep.
Tomorrow is a work day..............

I'm so excited to see all the pictures!! What a great adventure!!!
Loving the first set of pictures. It's probably just as well you didn't see any sacrificial virgins. You would have gotten all wet trying to be the conquering hero.
So glad you are there safely and that you can share these pictures with your fan base.
love the pics and following your adventures! keep them coming!
Neil / Gail, great to see you got there safe and sound, looks like flight was comfortable. You already got some great pictures. Looking forward to more.
