[QUOTE="BobM, post: 804137, member: 1444"] Fri 28 Nov Jaffa to Ramla 18.4km (5 hrs incl breaks) today from the Margosa Hotel to Shumacher's in Ramla. Pretty flat going but the bright sunny weather and 23 degrees C made it a bit tying at the end. The whole stage was on the busy Route 44, but it was very safe walking with wide verges where bike/footpaths did not exist. See pics. "Welcome bikers" rest stop at a service station where I had a break at the tables and seats provided for bikers. Many pics incl "Trump and Pence making America great." Ads for Harley bikes etc etc. Biker culture is the same the world over. One pit stop for a break and snack was at the only safe spot where the verge widened enough for a vehicle to make a brief stop. Used toilet paper and the acrid stench of well-aged shit made it a very short stop for a quick snack. Service station owner commented on my walking (unspoken assumption this guy is either crazy or has a story). I told my story which he repeated to all the cars filling up. Much smiling and expressions of goodwill. No offers of a lift. The owner filled up my water bottle with cold water and shook my hand. Shumachers is very basic but very welcoming. The owner Shimon Shumacher speaks good English and probably 50 other languages. Small shopping area close by run by an Arab family where you can buy snacks and food. Open on Friday until 2pm. Owner fixated on his CCTV monitoring for theft. That's it for today. Fingers tired pecking this stuff out on my phone. Also feeling a bit beat. It takes a couple of days to get into camino routine. Tomorrow I walk about 22km to Neve Shalom and its pricey rooms. Better be good. Bob M [/QUOTE]
