What's new

Tel Aviv, Israel

Strata Poster
Me and Kir got back at about 1am this morning, but because it was burdenous Luton we had to wait until about 5am to get the train home. After getting about 2 hours sleep the previous night, and a crap nights sleep on the beach the night before, we were absolutely exhausted!

But, it was amazing, so it's fine :)

In this TR i'm going to combine both of our photos, due to the fact that I covered Superland and my night photos came out a bit crappy.

We didn't take pictures every day, so i'm going to split it into 3 sections;

1 - Beach and Leisure
2 - The Theme Parks
3 - Night photos of the city

So yeah... here is part 1!


Gay times at Luton <3

The room was basic to say the least... but for £12 a night i'm anyones!

Suddenly we were in the sun! This was the view from our balcony.

Lots of the locals were doing yoga and stuff, so we had a go at some acrobatics <3

So... after a day of sun and sea, we got ready to have a night out on the gay scene for some SEXy gay Israeli men :) There aren't any photos in the club, mainly because we were too trashed, but there are a few that we don't really remember taking, and only found out about when scrolling through photos when we woke up on the BEACH the next day :D


Before we left, post-bottle-of-vod

We're SUCH british louts.

To be honest, it's all a bit of a blur... and I don't remember much between that and waking up on the beach. I remember V'ing, which is how I must've hemoraged a blood vessel in my eye. AMAZING NIGHT!

Stay tuned for part 2!
 
Tel Aviv can get inside me! Absolutely ****ing amazing city! Any fags here who are looking for a gay friendly holiday in the sun, seriously, CHOOSE ISRAEL! It sounds crazy but they love it fag-stylee there. The men are so ridiculously hot, the sun is ridiculously hot... the locals were so peaceful and accomodating to our foreignness. I'll add more comments as Jake adds more comments and pics! <3 It involves a fab SLC. So you best watch this space! :D
 
I have always wanted to go there to see the home land lol.

Looking forward to the rest of the trip, tbh I never knew it was so built up.

Glad you both had a good time.
 
omg, I think that photo of Jesus is scarred on my retinas for ever </3 Looks fab though :p
 
I WANT the Israeli TOGO credit, and HAVE to go to Helen's Keller, whatever that is.

Great report so far, but in order to make it interesting for the proles, don't forget to include a "signature shot" of Stealth, preferably with the sun setting behind it, Colossus's inline twists, and a list at the end telling us how many times you rode each coaster.
 
Very cool to see! I'm really interested in visiting Israel, so this report is great. Can't wait for some pictures of the parks.
 
^Couldn't agree more!

Good stuff guys. Keep it comin'! :--D
 
Part 2

We visited SuperLand on the Saturday (the only day the park is open every week, except holidays!), and unfortunately this was the only day out of four that the weather was a bit crappy. It was cloudy, but very humid at 26 degrees. The photos didn't come out very well, because for some reason my camera can't cope with dark conditions!

17134_475059400053_743580053_11077123_7210071_n.jpg


We got up quite late, and due to no busses running in the day due to the holiday Shabatt, we decided to walk. It took us about 3 hours to walk to the park, so we didn't get there until about 3pm!

The beaches in the Slums of Tel Aviv aren't exactly luxury...

17134_475059425053_743580053_11077125_5790838_n.jpg



It was VERY windy, so we were doubtful that rides would be running, but luckily everything was!

The park is literally in the middle of nowhere, and we were greeted first by the SLC 'Kumba'.

17134_475059450053_743580053_11077128_6770390_n.jpg


The park had a sky coaster, and some pretty cool, random themeing.

17134_475059470053_743580053_11077129_5160813_n.jpg


Hadn't done one of these in years, so gave it a spin. Pretty meh.

17134_475059495053_743580053_11077131_3663550_n.jpg


We gave the SLC a spin, and it was actually pretty good, well, for an SLC anyway. I guess the fact that it only operates one day a week makes it ride like a newer coaster...

The theming was good for an SLC too!

If you can walk under this without banging your head you're too small to ride!

Although, I HAD to get a picture of the most amazing carousel EVER <3

Kir and the Mascot.

Leaving the park, we spotted a H&S claim oppertunity <3

Night picture cred

So yeah... that's it for SuperLand. Sorry about the picture quality... although NOTHING would look nice in that weather haha.

The next day, it was nicer, and we headed to LunaPark, but it was SHUT! SPITE!

Boomerang SPITE

17134_475059970053_743580053_11077175_5091782_n.jpg


... and the new cred being built. Crap photo because we didn't even BOTHER getting out of the taxi when we realised we'd been spited.

17134_475059980053_743580053_11077176_8201693_n.jpg


It looks like a rollerskater.

On the way back we got dropped off at the Marina, which was right by the domestic/millitary airport. Planespotting <3

... and finally some art, illustrating how GAY tel aviv is. Some guys, one with a bumcrack out, peeking into the toilets/changing rooms on the beach!

Part 3 to follow soon/eventually.
 
^ Yeah, I didn't notice a difference really. It's a city that doesn't sleep... so most things were open 24/7 anyway. We went out drinking on friday, and clubbing on saturday, so i'm pretty sure everything was open!
 
I'd have never of thought of going to Tel Aviv, it just wouldn't have crossed my mind ever.
Was it nice and would you recommend going to anyone?

That park looks pretty ghetto but great. Kinda reminds me of Camelot, minus the 'Great' part of the sentance.
 
Very cool, but too bad about LunaPark. Looks like timing is everything, so when do you suggest that one go in order to get all the creds?
 
^^ YES! It's a fab place. Everyone should go... now!

^ Easter or summer, over a weekend. Although, in the summer you're talking 40+ degrees every day!



Part 3


Buildings on the beach, right near our hostel:

Kir shortly before the airport security the following day... having every single item RIPPED out of your bag and tested wasn't exactly fun!

18339_322823524008_503309008_4603938_619492_n.jpg


Just before the 5 1/2 hour SleasyJet flight back to Luton;

18339_322823534008_503309008_4603940_3580823_n.jpg


... and finally, back at Luton, feeling like poo!
