Henk and Sonja have decided to move to Eilat in Southern Israel for a couple of months, to relax and slow down from many years of hard work, to dive, to get Sonja's feet warm, and to work in a more relaxed pace with time for study.

Abandoning the customers was not an option, so a cooperation was arranged with a colleague in the town of Zwolle. The stocks have been packed, the racks emptied and disassembled, and together with all the equipment transported to Zwolle in our mini van plus a rented trailer. 

The house we rented from Dror has no furniture, so our first visit was to Ikea in Netanya. It's true: the sign says Ikea in Ivriet (Hebrew). 

The MPV (Kia Carnival) we rented in Peta Tikva was filled to the rim, and a little more, with 2 mattresses on the roof, 5 crates with equipment, 2 suitcases, 2 flight cases, a bag with diving gear, and all small stuff from Ikea. 

Just a part of our luggage: the 5 crates with electronic tools, parts and models, books and diving gear. The 2 flight cases each had a laptop computer. The total weight we took to the airport was over 180kg. And no customs problems neither in Holland nor in Israel:  MAZAL!!!

A picture down the road to Eilat, before entering the Negev desert: huge bushes with Mimosa in full bloom, in Holland they cost a fortune just for a small piece of a branch.
