We lived and worked on a boat in the Marina in Eilat, every boat had people like us working and living on it.
People from all over the world, we were like a big club, all the bars gave us free booze and we were known as "the marina people" :lol:

After falling out with our boss on the boat we ran away to Jerusalem! We lived on the roof of a hostel, this was the view.
(That's "the dome of the rock" with the gold roof.

PP: I got the dreads out with a comb and a LOT of conditioner, I started at the back underneath so it took a few days :D

Kazlin, My OH is South African but I'm English, when we met he'd never been to England before, but what I got pregnant (oop) we had to go to the embassy and get him a visa. When we got back we had nothing, no money OH only had a backpack full of old clothes LOL. Now we have 3 gorgeous kids, our own house, and he has a very well paid job he works really hard at. I'm very proud of him :)
