As the OneVoice Glasgow team gave our goodbyes to our travelling companions of the last week; Osama, Julien, Johnthan Ivan & 'handsome John, thanking them for helping make our trip a memorable & enjoyable one, we headed home to Glasgow, Scotland.
Unfortunately our journey home wasn't without incident.
Picked up by a taxi at 02:00, we made our way from Jerusalem to Tel Aviv Airport, when it started to rain, rained turn to thunder & lighting (hardly good news in itself, as we'd soon be in flight) and then 30 miles away from the airport, we blew a tyre (or more accurately the car did).
Although we offered to help our driver was resolute that he needed no aid, till two helpful police officers came to help.
Unfortunately the security at Tel Aviv Airport were not so helpful or swift. In line before check in we were 'randomly selected' for additional questioning, then we were 'randomly selected' to have our luggage opened and searched through, and Hala, David & myself were 'randomly selected' to be taken to private quarters for a damn good frisking and whipping (only joking).
In fairness to the airport security the OVG crew did feel safer as we headed home to bonny Scotland, tired, travel weary but overall more enthused, optimistic, empathetic and richer for the experience.
Thank you for reading our blog.
Gary, Hala, Anthony & David

Nope, we're not the latest indie-kid act to come out of Scotland. Gary Butterly, David Campbell, Hala Ousta and Anthony Silkoff from OneVoice Glasgow are hosteling, interviewing and exploring the West Bank and Israel. Here's where we keep you posted.
