Keeping Kosher without Kosher Restaurants

We only had two meals in a kosher restaurant during our tour (not counting the hotel restaurant). In Lisbon we stayed at a hotel that had kosher food and they had hot kosher meals for the sabbath. 

In Gibraltar, we ate at someone's apartment (three meals) who kept kosher. Except for these meals, we ate hot food from plastic plates and bowls with plastic utensils.

Our breakfasts were always in the hotel we stayed in. Our tour manager, Avi Feldman ( in second image he is the one with the green shirt; his email is avi_feldman@hotmail.com and he works with http://shaibarilan.co.il/  ), provided cheese, and bread and boiled eggs and cut up tomatoes and cukes, etc. We also typically packed some of this for lunch.



For supper, the tour manager typically cooked (or supervised the cooking of ) some soup (example of bean and cabbage with image from drbenkim.com), some vegetables and salmon in aluminum foil (as in the image from preventionrd.com in the first image). 

I saw him unpacking his own cooking pots at one point. Probably the tour manager must have gotten up an hour before us, didn't get to rest before supper and had to do various admin stuff and wash vessels after supper. So if our day was 14 hours with 3 hours rest, his was, say, 17 hours and no rest.
