Neve Zedek

It's been much too long, again, I know. I'd planned on posting at the beginning of this week, but then I caught the flu so the hiatus became even longer than I'd anticipated. Oh well.
I'm going to share some pictures with you that we took a week or so ago when my boyfriend and I went to walk around in Neve Zedek, an old neighborhood in Tel Aviv one evening. It has a bit of a European atmosphere, I think, and felt nice and romantic. I'd never been there before, and I really liked seeing the old houses and narrow streets. It is very different from the architecture elsewhere in Tel Aviv which is very modern, worn down and dare I say quite ugly.

While we were there I also spotted a little shop that seemed to be filled with antique or antique like treasures. Unfortunately it was closed, but I was standing there staring through the shop window for at least ten minutes, so I simply need to get back there one day that it's open.

The old station

I had a such a wonderful evening yesterday going to the old train station of Tel Aviv, which had been newly renovated, together with my boyfriend and his parents. I'm quite sure that that's my new favorite place in Tel Aviv as everything looks so picturesque and pretty. There are lots of small boutiques there selling pretty and unique jewelery, lovely clothing shops, and romantic restaurants. We neither shopped nor ate anything while we were there, but just strolling around was enjoyable experience as well. I hope I will be able to go back there with my boyfriend again soon - maybe on a weekday when it'd be less crowded and while there is still daylight - to take more pictures of the sweet little shops and houses and maybe to enjoy a dinner in one of the restaurants as it starts to get dark.

The first few pictures are by the way taken by the sea shore where we had a stroll before we walked to the old train station.

I was wearing a playsuit from Dahlia and shoes from Topshop.

Jerusalem.

I ended up not going to the Dead Sea on Saturday since the weather wasn't the best, so instead I went to Jerusalem which I think I enjoyed just as much. I hadn't been there for a very long time, which is a pity since it is always such an interesting city to visit. It's such a unique place due to its history, ancient architecture, beautiful scenery around it and the atmosphere with almost everyone being very religious. I should have taken more pictures of it, and especially of the old city, but it was quite rainy so we didn't spend enough time there. I will most likely go back there again in a couple of weeks when my parents are coming for a visit, so then I'll try to take more pictures.

Blackpool.

Yesterday C. Elizabeth went to Blackpool for a day. We had planned on going to the amusement park there, but we found out in the last minute that it was closed - we thought we'd go today instead then, but it ended up pouring cats and dogs, so no. However we had a nice day strolling along the beach, talking, eating at a café and we were in fact able to take one carousel at one of the piers.

Visiting

I am really enjoying visiting my friend C. Elizabeth in England - I've only been here for three days so far, but we've been having so much fun just chatting, laughing and enjoying each other's company. Unfortunately I've forgotten to take very many pictures so far, so I don't really have that many to share with you.

These are from today while we were in Manchester.

Also, I bought some pretty things today that I thought I'd show you.

These pretty shoes from Topshop.

And my new Dahlia playsuit. I love them both.

Beach.

Today my boyfriend and I were at the beach, the weather was wonderful and I had a little dip in the sea as well. Last time I swam in the ocean was nearly two years ago, so it felt really nice, especially with the waves.

Dress from H&M.

Tomorrow night I'm leaving to go home to northern Norway - something I feel very sad about. I'll have to leave my boyfriend again, and go back to winter weather (after enjoying spring in Sweden and summer here in Israel). However, it will be very nice to see my dog again who I miss quite dearly.
