My last day in Israel I took a bus to Bethlehem which is very close to Jerusalem. We crossed Palestinian borders, nobody checked passports while we were going there but on the way back they did. I was travelling alone until a guy from the Ivory Coast noticed me in the bus and offered to show me the city. His name was Alya and he was 5 years younger than me. He played football in Israel. We met his friend Raad who was originally from Bethlehem and we visited the city and then we went to Raad's house for a lunch. Raad's family was Christian. His mother cooked grape leaves stuffed with rice and fish. I was wondering if his mother didn't mind that he brought a stranger to his house for the lunch but he said it was no problem.

I took a taxi to Solomon's Pools after the lunch. It was getting much colder that day and I didn't bring any warm clothes with me so I was frozen when I returned to Bethlehem. Some people who waited with me at the bus stop made me worried when they told me that the border crossing we were going to was only for the Israeli residents and there was a chance that they wouldn't let me cross, but fortunately I passed without any problem. When I returned to Jerusalem I went to a sushi restaurant with my host. The following day he accompanied me to the bus station and I took a bus to Eilat. The journey took 5 hours and we were travelling along the Dead sea. I had to take another bus to the Taba border and then I took a taxi which took me to my hotel in Nuweiba for 40 USD. I returned to Egypt on Thursday around 5pm and I quickly took a bath in the sea. I stayed in Egypt till Sunday and I spent the last days there just relaxing on the beach and walking around with two Jordanian guys who stayed in the same hotel as me. The weather was warm but windy. We took a bus late at night to the Taba airport and we arrived to Prague on Monday morning.
