The last day we went to Dolphin Reef, which Ane has written much more about on his blog anenord.blo

Valentines day is not something I usually go up or have had a reason to celebrate, but this year fell on this day all together with our necessary visa renewal. Ane and I was more or less forced to leave the country, but in fact it's not such a bad idea! Once we had booked the hotel and had a view of a few days on a sun lounger by the pool we were pleased just to get going: In romantic Valentine stay in Aqaba in Jordan.
We were welcomed with a drink and a 'Happy Valentine' and a buffet of delicious dishes and (less delicious) desserts carved in the hearts .. Gee how fine! We felt not quite in line with the other guests who came in their beautiful engross clothes and trolleys while we came in more casual clothes and with backpackers. engross Bell boy took our bags and led us to the room - can not remember I have been treated so classy! We took one day at a time, no plans, no hurry, no stress. Sleep late, take up to 4 buffet breakfast, swim in the heated pool, a half-hour water aerobics with two male 'coaches' (not much exercise, but an experience engross worth), steam bath, sauna, massage, and, not least, lie in the sun, be warmed up (wear sunscreen!), reading books and reflecting on life. I was reading 'hut' by William Paul Young. It put many healthy, challenging and inspiring engross thoughts started - it can be recommended! And that to be the 'summer' with his family gave me a lot of memorable and beautiful flashbacks to my childhood. How grateful I am for my family and all the experiences we've had together :)
It is always a bit nervous about having engross to cross the border and passport control to Israel, because they have a wonderful (not!) kind of forhøringsprocedure. After the bags had been through like they should be opened and ups, there was our Arabic books. I had the best way to explain why, however we wanted and needed to learn Arabic and not Hebrew, the specific culture we were so interested in, etc. The twenty-minute engross interrogation went as appropriate fine and we did not touch on whether we were just tourists and also volunteers - thankfully! The passport control we were further questioned and accused of dwell in the country engross illegally, because even on tourist visa should not be here more than three months, and now we already had been here for six! Therefore, we only got one month visa, and be in a few weeks hassle of getting it extended even month.
In Eilat should we find our hostel for the last night. The taxi driver drove us on two occasions to the wrong address. First, to a large fine hotel with almost the same name as our hostel, then in a hostel called Sea Princess, and why it is not yet known! We had booked the hostel from home over the net, but after a half hour of walking around in the Sabbath empty streets, asked several ho (s) telejere we had to find that the hostel did not exist! None known to the address, no one knew the name, phone number could not be dialed and email address sounded like a joke. We may have been duped, who knows, but we got the money back from booking.com (pay little attention if you order from there).
The last day we went to Dolphin Reef, which Ane has written much more about on his blog anenord.blogspot.com where we snorkeled in the Red Sea with dolphins swimming, playing, 'mate'ende just below us - it was a beautiful experience ! One could easily have spent a whole day to look at dolphins, but it may be next time.
Right now days worked a little too trivial and seem soon not there is more to do for us. Missing a chapter plus the loose, but is being well spent. Luckily I use all afternoon today with Shadia and Ane to prepare for this weekend's Youth Follow Up on developing a rather complex and yet rich play. I think it is a good mix of everything from signs and guess charades, music and famous quiz, dance, karaoke, etc. Something the young well entertained with - and fun, it surely it!
