Jordan — 21, day ten, from Aqaba to Eilat

The journey is drawing to a close, at least the adventurous part of it — after all, today we are entering civilized Israel. I don't know if my stories have been thrilling enough, but the trip itself definitely was. On the morning of the tenth, and last meaningful day, we took a stroll through the bazaar in a futile attempt to buy an authentic souvenir, but globalization nipped our plans in the bud: nowadays, everything you can buy in any country in the world is made by the Chinese, and with a bit of desire and know-how, you can score the exact same stuff on the internet.
We checked out the blankets: the exact same things are sold in any supermarket or bazaar in Daugavpils. Spices: the Jordanian ones are the same story, while the Indian ones, which are more interesting, are quite pricey: 5 to 10 times more expensive than in India.

After lounging on the couch at Motel Sunset for a few hours, I finally decided (as I always do) that we hadn't come all this way for nothing, and we should at least check out how Israelis vacation. Pulling myself together and lifting myself off the couch with an incredible effort of will, I shook Rybakov awake, we dressed up a bit, and crawled out into the light of day. The light, however, turned out to be darkness — it's very weird to step out into the hotel courtyard from a nearly windowless room only to discover it had gotten dark ages ago. We headed for the beach, figuring the center was nearby, and we weren't wrong.
It must be said that Eilat is a small city, with a population of about fifty thousand, and it's located on the very edge of Israel, which looks like a pointy tip — rumor has it, it was seized so the country could have access to the Red Sea to transport oil and petroleum products by water. The width of Israel in this part is a laughable 15 km — essentially, just a little slice by the sea. In the summer, it often hits 44 degrees Celsius here — I have no idea why anyone would poke their nose in here in such heat, but the thrill-seekers never dry up.
