No kidding, it was an awesome night bar a 45 minute hiccup at the very beginning..
Shabbat with the cousins was real fun like usual - relaxing and catching up and seeing the old friends in Yishuv who are now older and either in, finshed or just starting the army. We even went for a nice Shabbat arvo tiyul down to the ma'ayan..which ended up being some trees on the way to the ma'ayan because we couldn't be bothered!
After Shabbat, and feeling like a real Israeli, I thought I would tremp to Tel Aviv (for a friends Mesibat Shichrur from the army) from Ginot after Shabbat - which is fine, catching one from inside the fence of the Yishuv, I managed to find a guy going right to Ramat Gan - which was awesome..
Needless to say, Israeli's are crazy on the roads, and we managed to get there quite quickly..which was great, because he said he would drop me at a bis stop, and the buses come every 10-20 minutes..45 minutes later, I'm still stuck there, and friends in Tel Aviv are asking where the hell I am?!
Finally a nice car stopped and told me the bus stop was actually a 5 minute walk backwards, and that the reason at least 7 buses had gone straight past me was that they were not allowed to stop where I was waiting! Hmmm imagine how happy that made me!
I walked to the bus stop and caught a bus no more than 10 minutes later..found myself in Tel Aviv and where I needed to be 20 minutes later..and back on track for a fun night.
I'm going to pull the old Seinfeld trick of 'yadda yadda' right now between arriving in Tel Aviv and the next part, and say that the night was awesome fun, and I managed to pull back into Jerusalem close to before 5am..
Regardless, it will be night remembered as the first tremp as an Israeli and a night not to forget!
Day 22 - Shabbat 5 June 2010Keep smiling =)
