Fun day at the beach! - Alison


I just realized we forgot to tell you all about where we are staying! Durring our time in Tel Aviv we are staying at a hotel on the beach called Prima Tel Aviv Hotel. When we arrived in Tel Aviv we had no idea how busy it was going to be! We had hoped we would find a cheap little hostel to stay in but we didn’t find any that were suitable enough for us to stay for a whole week. The nightly rate for the room is 726 INS ($200 USD) but since that was a little out of our budget we convinced them to give us two for the price of one and a half. Our stay ended up being 1089 INS ($300/night) for a total of 7623 INS ($2,100).


Anyway, now on to day 2, we woke up, put on our bathing suits, grabbed a quick bite from the free continental breakfast at the hotel and went to the very popular Tel Aviv beach! I was so excited we were going to just hang out and relax all day on the beach! It the high for the day was 85 degrease which is just about perfect, however the boys thought it was a little warm. Overall the beach was very similar to the beaches in North Carolina, however the water was a little more clear. For lunch that day we just got gyros from a street vendor right outside our restaurant for 25 INS ($7 USD) each, for a grand total of 100 INS ($28 USD) we hung out on the beach until about 6:00. We liked the gyros so much we went and had them again for dinner, again for100 INS ($28 USD).



After dinner we contemplated going to the spa at the hotel, which in my opinion we should have done! But there were so many people out and about walking the streets already we decided to go out on the town. After our showers we met back up and headed to down town Tel Aviv. The great part about our hotel was it was such a great location we could walk to a plethora of bars. We ended up at a place called Café Noir. We were a little worn out from the sun all day so we ended up just getting a couple drinks and calling it a night pretty early. For a total of 90 INS ($25 USD). After we walked back to our hotel we passed out pretty early so we could be rested up for tomorrows activities.

Total Cost for the day:
