Poka (Pah-Ka)

So this morning I woke early ready for my day out, I breakfasted early and worked out my route for the day. Blog done and off I set, the bus 132 took me to Lev Hamifrats, I then hung around for a while waiting for the 52 to take me to Kiryat Motskin, the lovely bus driver and I finally worked out where I needed to be and off we went. Thankfully I had my trusty iPhone with the goggle maps and could track my little blue dot. Unfortunately the bus driver forgot to shout for my stop, I realised where I was and jumped off the bus, walking back Dina called to say she would meet me down on the street, and then I received a phone call about the bed we had ordered.  The trouble is I should have stopped walking because by the time the call was ended I was past where I needed to be and had to turn back, but all was well walking towards me was Dina and Jason, they walked me back to the apartment where we sat and chatted about life in Israel and life in the Ukraine and many other things.

Jason sat at the table and told me I have beautiful eyes, three and a half years old and a charmer already, Dina had to translate for me because Jason speaks only Russian. Dina had prepared us a lovely lunch a traditional Russian soup dish, and salad, we had home made bread and cake, poor Dina is unable to eat the bread and cake as she has recently been diagnose with Celiacs disease, and is still in depression over the cakes. I spent a lovely afternoon with Jason and Dina, but the time had come for me to leave, I set off on foot as I felt I needed to walk off some of the lovely food. I used my iPhone and the blue dot and followed the railway line, back to Vulcan junction, then carried on, what I didn't realise was that I had actually slipped onto route 22 and not route 4, this was ok until I ran out of path and was left with one of two options, 1/ walk back to the road and catch a bus, 2/ continue along the motor way and eventually get back to downtown. Just over two hours later I made it to down town and the Carmalit subway, my feet were whinging by this time and the seat on the subway was sooooo comfy.

I made it back to the hotel and My Beloved was waiting there with Mr. Wilson, Dave, Callum and Grant, they all thought I was mad, as did Mark when he arrived, as he had been watching with My Beloved on the find me app and they had been tracking my blue dot.  We had a long chat in reception before deciding to go our for something to eat.

We walked to Sleek and settled in for the evening, Classic Shrimps, Veal Carpaccio, Chicken dishes and more were all ordered, each course as usual arrived with its own loaf of bread, we had bread on bread, followed by more bread. We spent a very pleasant evening chatting about where everyone came from, and life in general.

Our breakfast bar stools have arrived and we have to collect them tomorrow, now that will be fun trying to get My Beloved on the correct road. I have no idea how I'm going to get him there without actually smacking him in the head, or maybe even banging his forehead of his steering wheel........:)

Poka (pah-ka) Goodbye in Russian, I'm needing to learn Hebrew but today I was learning Russian with Jason and Dina.
