Eilat – tourist paradise

Entering Eilat we felt as if we were driving in Las Vegas. All the hotels seemed to be built in a similar style. In the city we could find many stalls, where we bought beautiful souvenirs, cosmetics from the Dead Sea and local delicacies. Walking on the promenade, we were getting past a lot of international shops, local bazaars and great restaurants. Going on, behind the promenade we saw a campsite and then we reached the border with Jordan. Unfortunately the gateway was closed, so we have just seen a big fence.

Afterwards we went to the beach. Everyone was shocked by the fantastic view. It looked like the Bahamas or another luxurious place for holidays. The beach made a big impression on us, because there were many palm trees and the water was very clean.

But it wasn’t a perfect place, because the sand was like gravel, so we didn’t like it.

Water was warm enough to swim, so almost everyone was bathing and having fun.

We spent most of the day on the beach and did the shopping in the meantime.

Getting a tan all day long would be boring, so we went to a pleasure cruise. During the passage we saw lovely dolphins. It was a great experience. Then we sailed to the center of the Gulf of Aqaba to swim. By the way we had a beautiful views of Eilat and surrounding areas. The ship was equipped with a large slide and rafts. Everyone could get life vests, so it was safe. People were admiring underwater sights and even jumped into the water from upper deck. On the cruise liner loud music was played, so a lot of people were dancing. It was so hot, but we could chill with cold drinks. It was a great adventure and we are grateful to have taken part in.

Dzierżoniów: small city with great history

On Monday we visited a hometown of part of our group — Dzierżoniów. We were pleasantly surprised at how such a small city can have so interesting history. During the walk we visited the city central square. Really curiously was the story about one of the oldest local church. From start it was Evangelical church, but in 1962 the church was converted into a warehouse and a furniture store. The store worked in the church near 10 years and now it's spiritual place again. Also here is one of the unique synagogues in Poland. It was built almost 150 years ago. During the II World War, the synagogue thankfully was not destroyed, as it was bought by a local gardener.
