Another wild and crazy day with the Kohns. We started our day bright and early with a delicious Israeli breakfast at our hotel, the Dan Panorama. Then we headed straight to the aquarium, aka the Underwater Observatory. The kids thought it was funny that the street we had to take to get there was Derech Mitzrayim -- since it ended it Egypt!
The kids loved the underwater viewing area and the coral reefs were gorgeous. They also loved seeing the spectacular view from the top platform. The shark movie was incredible (even for us as adults) and they loved feeding the fish right out of their hands. It was too windy for the glass bottom boat so we traded our tickets for ice cream and drink vouchers, which we thoroughly enjoyed in the 110 degree heat. All in all it was a fantastic morning.
Next we took the kids to the next beach over to go snorkeling. We rented the gear, wet suits and all and headed down to the crystal blue waters of the Red Sea. Joshua, our snorkeling expert couldn't wait to go out with Daddy first. Benjamin, in his wet suit, laid on the beach and played in the rocks and sand...I kept him company. Yehuda took each of the kids one at a time out to see the beautiful coral reefs and fish. The kids had so much fun that they didn't want to leave when it was time to return the "gear" as Benjamin called it.
After a quick stop at Camel Ranch to reserve a Camel Safari through the mountains for tomorrow, we headed back to our hotel and straight to the swimming pool. The kids enjoyed a yummy dinner of hot dogs, hamburgers, schnitzel and french fries at the poolside cafe and then swam and swam and swam until Yehuda and I were too tired to supervise them anymore.
Afters baths and showers (and a movie in bed) the kids were asleep. Yehuda and I went out to this delicious restaurant called "Denis" -- YUM!
Laila tov!
