10 o`Clock

We survived the new year`s eve very well. All are human beings and we are also here for “holidays”, that`s why we started a little bit later with the training.

Tour of Tel Aviv with Shlomi Moyal and Marcus Torgerson

We started the new year with a wide smile of Shlomi Moyal!

He led us to a little park. On a clearing between buildings and streets of the city and the wonderful look to the sea. We started the training! We`re running and jumping by forked trees and rocks along the way and trough the swings of a playground. Everything get used.

The sun is pleasant warm, even if they tell us again and again that´s winter. We enjoy the training with short-sleeved, because 1. For us the temperature is like spring or summer and 2. Shlomi will fire us for sure! ;-)

After the warm up, we training the defence against a attack with a baseball bat.

For other people it must look strange, but after a short time, they see it`s training. I don`t understand a word of what they talking but I saw a woman how explained a group of kids, what we are doing. She used the words “Krav Maga” very often.

A few people sat relaxed on the benches in front of us and watched us in our morning training. In Israel it isn`t exceptional, if you speak about Krav Maga or if a group, like we at the moment, training that! It`s a part of the daily life!

Since this is a Train and Travel is … In the morning we trained and at the afternoon we travelled.

Shlomi shows us Tel Aviv!

In many things, he find a reference to Krav Maga, but one thing is very striking! FOOD! Shlomi talks a lot and really intensiv, how good israeli food is. We should try everything and trust. Particular the ice cream! (And he will be right!)

We sampled the ice cream and I for my part liked it, I liked it a lot! We all liked it so much, that we wanted a second or third one, but Shlomi forbade us. Why? Because he wants to show us something really special!

WE ARE HUNGRY! Since the training, we doesn`t eaten, without the ice cream … So it has to be great!

And it will be! We drove to a restaurant and all are surprised, how they serve. While we all site there, various things in small bowls are virtually thrown on the table! There are so many bowls that is no place for the own plate. I can`t remember what is in the bowls, but we trust in Shlomi and his wife, which urge us, to try everything. If a bowl is empty, a waiter bring a new one, immediatly and all the time, we get fresh flatbread. Also you can order meat, which is very tender. It`s like a never ending food dream.

We are sick of it! And have the feeling to burst.

But we are talking about Shlomi Moyal … he has a second place with delicious things, which he wants to show us. ;-)

After a long walk at harbor, we reached a cafe/restaurant … and thinking that we reading or understand it wrong, but NO! It`s a chocolate restaurant. Everything with chocolate or at least sweet …

All forget that we sick of it. We all want to try something … I mean we talk of a chocolate restaurant!

The day comes to an end, extremely tired! The journey give us, all the time, so many impressions. And we will never forget this!

Thanks to Shlomi Moyal for so many gustatory impressions!

And don`t get hurt!
