charlie wanted a mention, i think he thinks this is some world leading website when in fact i have a feeling its just the same 10 people who have looked at it.

yesterday was the first day of chol hamoed pesach. which is strange cos it was still yom tov in london. its lovely in israel over pesach. really nice. makes you realise how cool it is to have a jewish state where jewish festivals are national holidays whether ur religious or not.

my friend from london charlie is staying at the dan accadia hotel in herzaliya with his family for pesach so i went up to chill with him at the hotel. its a great place. really nice and spacious and good quality. so many of the hotels in israel are a bit crappy, mostly cos they havent had many guests over the last 4 years since the start of the intifada. but this one is kept quality. it was a funny place, nothing else in the area apart from the new shopping centre and it was full of english people. we had a nice relaxed time and a good chatabout where his lifes going. even got to watch some snooker together on eurosport.

in the evening i had to go back through tel aviv so i met up with my cousin yael and went to the cinema in dizengoff centre. saw a nice and relaxed film - in good company with dennis quaid.
