As less as possible
by Sharon
Dont take too much with you. Most of the day you'll need your swim suit and shorts anyway. For night some nice short clothes. Normally you have everything you need there and very handy unless if you use some very special medicins which needs a Doc' prespriction. You can buy all the equipment there and remember the strong sun there...so take with you the right films for your camera (unless if you use a digi)
Banana Boat - a sport or not ??
by Martin_S.
This is not kayaking, nor canoeing and it is not sailing or boating by any means, and of course it is not surfing or rafting, so where do you put "banana boating"???, good question.
Well it is simple you get on this inflated banana (or whatever else you might think it reminds you of), you have hand holds and places to put your feet on the side..this whole contraption is connected to a power boat...yes you can guess where this is "going"...they rev up that power boat and pull you out into open ocean, speeding, swerving, jogging and looping back over their wake and just in general trying to make you fall off...fun !!!! (as you might or might not notice I am sitting at a stratigic place in the middle that way if we fall off, I fall on something soft, yes you got it, another person ^O^ )
Aqua Beach
by Sharon
This beach is one of the southern beaches of Eilat and quite far from the center and its more crowded and noisy beaches.
This is my favorit beach... always nice and quiet there, watching to the other side of the bay on the Jordanian beaches and mountains. Listening to world music in the background, some beers and the beautiful sea.
