Our driver Yosi picked us up from our apartment in Jerusalem at 9:30am and took us first to Beit Halochem where we left our bikes unassembled with Nimrod our bike guide. Then, Yosi dropped us off at our hotel where we left our luggage until our room would be ready. We had made good time - it was only 11am.
Nimi searched the Internet for gluten-free health stores and restaurants Our little tablet is proving to be very handy. Then we took a stroll on the boardwalk by the beautiful Mediterranean beaches in search of gluten-free challahs she could take back to Toronto when we get back to Tel Aviv next Friday. We were successful on locating the store and products.
It is quite hot here and I hope it will be a little better when we head north - not so nice pedalling in the heat.
After a light lunch at Tel Aviv port, we headed back to the Sheraton to get our room. We sorted our clothes and gear we will need for the bike ride and will leave the rest of the stuff at the hotel until our return - then a short snooze was in order.
We re on the lookout for fellow riders staying at the hotel to possibly get together for supper.
Its great to be back in Tel Aviv - seems like people along the beach really enjoy life. Check out the little kids playing in the outdoor showers on the beach.
