Day 57: Tel Aviv
July 22: Okay, so today is my last real day in Israel. Spent some time at the markets, before doing some errands (eg post office). Welcome home to mum and dad too!
Had a relaxing afternoon by the pool, before receiving a great massage arranged with the hotel. After two months of travelling, a nice pampering moment!
Had banquet-like dinner with the Aussie team - about a quarter are back at my hotel, others are with relatives and some have left already. Nice meal. Few speeches, and scrag award given to the Aussie women's soccer team.
Said my goodbyes, before getting a couple of hours sleep - I have a very early morning flight to the Greek Islands tomorrow.
Great seeing familiar faces and meeting new people, happy I came to Israel and experienced Maccabiah.
Note: I am back on my Aussie mobile number for anyone who wishes to contact me.
