Holiday mix-up

I love the story that I heard on the Radio today. A British couple were holidaying in Thailand, when they decided to leave the place, because they didn't like Bangkok. They picked Tenerife as their destination, but the travel agent misheard them, and sent them to Tel Aviv instead.

When they got there, armed Israeli police strip-searched them twice, then imprisoned them while they validated their suspicious story. The woman, pub landlady Diane Bell, said “It sounds daft but I’d never seen Tel Aviv spelt before. I thought it was what people in Thailand called Tenerife.” Classic
