Eilat and Jaffa

For working a year on a project now long finished and judged very successful by my employer, I have been offered a 4 days trip to Eilat's "Club Med" for 2. L&L joined us on the trip so we enjoyed the blazing sun, the beach activities and hotel facilities together.
We had some fun snorkeling around the coral beach there, but it left me all sad to see that despite the conservation efforts by the National parks authority, the reef was not very populated anymore and not as nice as what we had experienced in Hawaii or Colombia. It was still nice but a bitter sunburn on my back reminded me that even with cream I'd better not play too much under the sun...

We spent some time at the local aquarium which was kind of showing what we should have been seeing under water by ourselves. It was a great occasion to try "underwater" photography and you can check some of the samples here.


The next weekend H&R had invited us to join them in Jaffa, so we had a very nice guided tour of the city with historical and socio-economical perspective. The afternoon was very nice and we enjoyed the trip a lot.

We finished in a local restaurant called Dr Shukshuka where we had a gargantuesque Tunisian style dinner (including shukshuka, couscous, etc...).
I need to put a recipe here as it seems I can't find any good one online, the short version is that it's eggs poached in tomato sauce with bell peppers onions and chilies.
