From Eilat to Tel Aviv

Mum and I have arrived in Tel Aviv - the last stop on our great Israeli adventure.  We started the epic drive at 9am this morning and made it here around 1pm.  The drive, like the drive to Eilat, was incredible!  Lots of rocks, sand, and gorgeous desert valleys.

We also saw a few signs that made us giggle / #onlyinisrael.  My fav one is the 'caution ahead, dangerous curves' (which makes me think of Kim Kardash) but the curves were so dangerous I didn't have time to snap a photo:

After we made it to Tel Aviv and dropped the car off - which was legit a 1.5 hour experience because we couldn't find a petrol station and then we couldn't find the actual place to drop the car off and driving in Tel Aviv is the most stressful thing in the whole entire world - we went to my favourite cafe in the whole of Israel - XOHO cafe.

Lolz - who rides a segway to brunch? 

XOHO reminds me so much of Melbourne aka why I love it so much.  They have an excellent brunch menu featuring a lot of vegan options and the most amazing baked goodies which are all baked on site.  Even the bathrooms are cool; plastered with post-it notes that guests can write on.

 

I had one of their winter specials, the matcha latte with soy, Mum ordered a juice and we shared the most divine cheesecake - espresso and nutella flavoured.  The latte was incredible and it reminded me so much of Asia.  Oh, and the cheesecake. O-M-G. And I shouldn't forget to mention XOHO has a cat that sits around the cafe playing with guests and napping wherever it sees fit.

Following this, Mum and I walked around Dizengoff and ended our adventure by buying a few more sufganiyot - this time from Roladin.
