My Beloved managed to finish work around lunch time and we headed off to Haifa for an overnight stay at the Dan Panorama, I have to say the hotel is not a patch on The Crowne Plaza and I don't think I will be rushing to stay there again anytime soon.
We dropped our bags and took a walk around Haifa, and found ourselves at The Crowne, Maor and Sharbel were both working so we got to chat with them, Sharbel was so happy telling us about his new lady, apparently in Arab communities before you become engaged the woman becomes stamped, and he now has his stamp on his lady, can't wait for the engagement party.
We headed back to the hotel and met up with Dave, Chris, Dragos and Kevin for a quick drink and a catch up, then it was time for a shower before heading out to Nelly and Itzhaks for the evening, we spent a lovely evening chatting about so many things, and laughing about so much more, I love seeing these two people they have to be in my top ten of people we have met since arriving in Israel, probably top five. Nelly made us a lovely puff pastry dessert with cream and strawberries, according to Itzhak she was testing it on us. We made arrangements to meet up in Tel Aviv with them next week for coffee and said our goodbyes, but not before I was given the keep to the shed downstairs, having lost the last one I could now get my Christmas decorations out and take them to Herzliya and my lovely Christmas tree, Nelly is dying to see my tree when I put it up, she is still disappointed it won't be in the Haifa apartment.
We took our supper at Giraffe and it was heaven, Herzliya Giraffe is not a patch on the Haifa branch, we ate baby back ribs and Chicken fried rice, washed down with the obligatory bottle of wine, obviously......
