It’s been quite some time now that Dorit and I have been living next to each other rather than with each other. She’s a teacher, I work in the high tech industry. Indeed, we’re free to go at the end of the work day, we don’t live in small shacks and we don’t have to pick corn or cotton for living. We have some time off, but it’s always overshadowed by the chance that someone will call you on the phone, chat with you when you’re almost ready to drop after a fifteen hour workday, or send you a seemingly innocent email asking for some charts the next day. In short, we had to get away.
When we surveyed the options, we looked at a “zimmer” – a room in German, which translates to a fully furnished room in a quiet place, surrounded with amazing scenery, panoramic views, wholesome people, candlelight lit hot tubs and dinners, really strange people with a strong relationships to the environment. In short – this is the anti-city environment.
We chose Rosh Pina. Various reasons. The grandparents live in Cabri, a Kibbutz near Nahariya. It was like a military operation. We picked the kids from school. They were packed already and so were we. We drove to the Gramps and after thirty seconds of kisses and warnings, we hit the road.
We arrived at Molly’s Suite at 15:00 and at 15:05 Dorit already told me to change position so the snoring stops, and she could sleep too. If it wasn’t for the stupid cat stumping on the next door neighbor’s door, we would have slept for the night. But, when we woke up at 18:00, the hot tub – a two engine full size two adults hot tub – looked extremely inviting. I lit a few candles, poured some liquid into the tub, and two minutes later, we were basically boiling our asses in water so hot, that adding some celery and potatoes would have taken care of dinner as well.
We emerged out of the hot tub, red, relaxed, tired, and starving. We looked at the few brochures and found “Julian”, a bar – restaurant. we got dressed and drove over. A side comment: I eat a lot less than I look. Dorit and I started to order for one lately. It’s working pretty well for us. House salad (excellent, although someone must explain the presence of the pears), creamy Broccoli soup (divine), an entrecôte steak done to perfection, with some strange (but outstanding) mashed potato and sweet potato, nailed it. As I said, one diner only, amazingly reasonable price. Julian of Rosh Pina – a definite yes.
Back to the “Zimmer”. Good night sleep. Excellent mattress, complete silence, no interruptions.
Amazingly, in nine hours, we were able to achieve an afternoon siesta, a hot tub experience, an outstanding dinner, some quality time together. If you’re looking to get away, quick disappearance into nothingness, good time – I recommend Molly’s Suite in Rosh Pina.
