Eilat and everything here and happy christmas and merry new year

Greetings from Eilat or should i say North West London. Eilat is good, we're staying in this really nice hotel, that the people in charge put us up in, which is really surprising as we were expecting a little youth hostel. There isn't much to do in Eilat apart from sit by the sea and go to the pool, unless you go snorkelling and stuff like that or hiking in the mountains nearby but it's allo too expensive, actually pretty much everything about being is here is quite expensive.

Unfortunately the weather isn't that good, it's hot in the day only about 23 or 24 degrees in the sun and it get really cold at night and really windy, so you can't sit by the pool too long. Some people are staying at the Dan which is really nice and big hotel on the beach along with the other posh hotels along the beach so us poor people with no parents out go there most days and sit by the pool though tey're realy strict about getting in, but we all know the room numbers of the people staying there so we get past the guards.

Tonight Charlotte and I went out with Katie's family (as the people's parents have been very nice and are taking out the people with no family visiting). We ate the buffet at the Dan and it was the most amazing thing ever. There was so much food: sushi, loads of really nice salads, loads of meat, chinese food. And there was a huge dessert sectino and i took so much, there was a whole table just for chocolates and another one just for sweets. Jumbo cool.

We were supposed to be going on this boat that some friends in another group had hired for new years but just before we went heard it was really crap,s o we didn't know what to do. Some people wanted to go to this club that we'd been to before but i didn't really want to go as everyone in there is north london jews and most of them i don't like, luckily i don't know most of them. But that's what it's like here, everyone is from North London, it's horrible. And i think nearly every Jew from my primary school is here, and it's really awkward. So back to the story, so we didn't know what to do i didn't want to go to the club and i didn't want to go to the boat, though i felt i should, as it was really horrible not to go, I just wanted to go home and watch tv. Finally we decided to go to the club and it was really horrible and i felt ill from all the stress and feeling bad about not going on the boat, and eating too much so i came home early, so that's why i'm here back at the hotel using the free computer.

I feel much better now, after writing down the story, I somehow got myself into a really bad mood. I hope you all had good new years too. Australia sounds so good, I really want to come, it's so unfair.

Well that's enough ranting for the moment, i'm sure i'll have another rant soon.

Lol Josh. Hope you're feeling happier now after the rant. My new years wasn't much fun. It was spent on the plane surrounded by drunk, loud and annoying Germans. Even worse, a few rows in front there were about 6 annoying, loud but hopefully not drunk German babies screaming their lungs out for most of the 14 hour journey. But we were given a glass of champagne.
