Day Three

Sitting in the lobby of the beautiful Dan Panorama, reflecting on today, another great day!

Went for breakfast at the little cafe across from our room. Then decided to head back to the shore and look for Jaffa, old and new. Found it with ease. Amazing that it really hasn't changed since we were here last, although we were able to explore it in more depth than the last time we were here ("meet back at the bus in 20 minutes???!!!). Also, I am not certain, but I don't think there was Zumba classes in the streets when we were here last time!

Heading back down toward Tel Aviv, discovered a store that needed attention. Spent too much time in there, but after a while and an emergency call to Amex, we headed back towards our humble digs.

Stopped for a bite to eat for lunch, then back to The Trieste to check out and meet Ofer, the taxi man! Had an hour to kill so decided to have a quick coffee. Ofer comes early, we down our coffee, say good bye to Odelia (loved her!) and off we go to Jerusalem!

Traffic out of Tel Aviv was horrible, but eventually we were on the highway headed towards Jerusalem. Ofer pointed out some very interesting things along the way (after an eerily quiet 1/2 hour or so), and about 1 1/2 hours later, we were at our destination, The Dan Panorama!!

Checked in, showered (ahhhhhhhhhhhh) and went for a walk to our evening meal at a restaurant called Joy (and indeed the food was a joy to eat, me Shnitzle, Jodi lamb chops)! Now relaxing in the lobby (the only place with free Wifi) catching up and listening to live piano. Nice Nice Nice!!
