Trip in the Holy Land

[BC-A]

Some days after Nathalie's trip to Israel, that was my turn to go there for one week... (shame we missed only for a few days.... )

I didn't have much time to see all the stuff I wanted (Jerusalem, Massada, Dead Sea, etc.) but this will probably for a next time... I go back there in July but just for a couple of days in Tel Aviv...

First hosted near Haifa by Folklore, we visited Rosh Anikra which is a beautiful grotte, just at the frontier with Lebanon...

View from the place to Haifa

Inside the grotte

This particular white rock build by the sea, where you can see little rocks that are literraly cemented in the rock, but in relief... Really special

The rock itself...

Here you can see that the two capitals are very near... I won't make any political comment on this...

A cute little marmot living in the place!

On the road from Haifa to Rosk Anikra, a viaduc in front of the Ghetto Museum

Some views of Akko (near Haifa) were we bought some tasty arab sweets

Some pictures of the Baiha gardens in Haifa. Wowwww

The Bahai is a universal doctrine derived from Islam. Here is their sanctuary...

From the downtown

Some pictures fro Tiberias and the tiberias lake. Nice place to roam and to swim

From the boat...

The landscape around the lake


And on the way to Rosh Pina, we stopped with Folklore in a smart small restaurant where we eat an incredible amount of Israeli food for only 50NIS each (10€). Was nice cause we were HUNGRY

Looking our red face, we stayed probably too much at the tiberias beach

Tel-Aviv beach on the promenade... So nice...


Now some stuff from the Old Jaffa. This place is incredibly quiet, nice, with people from all origins and faith living together...

The "wish bridge" you can read the description on the panel...
All along the bridge guard-rail there is for each zodiacal sign a big iron stuff that you have to grab while looking to the sea and make your wish

View to Tel-Aviv

I didn't take any pictures of all the BEAUTIFUL girls I met there . May be next time

Thanks a LOT to Avi, Yossi and Matti for this great week by hosting me and getting me out ("Mossad" ).

beautiful pix Yannick !!!!!! I want to go there, it seems to be awesome

 

[Morticia NL.]

*Sigh* yup, those are wonderful.
So next time we should visit the place together! I cannot help but think this bridge was not there before. I saw some changes around Jaffa comparing it to last year. Like the really expensive appartments that were built on the side that faces the sea. And the public toilets were gone- problem problem...

I am still hoping to make it in July, but I know I wont. So make it Wacken.

The public sheroutim? I went there so... :Smug:

I hope the bus i should go with will not be canceled because of not enough people...

Thanx Yannick for the great photos!

 

[DeadlyRose]

Wow, you guys just made me feel so lucky that i live in Israel...

Not that i usually don't feel that way, but there is times that i just want to get away from here >.<

 

[Morticia NL.]

You and a dozen of my friends living there. But I'll trade places with ya for a year or so any day!!!!

Nice pics man

 

[The Minds Eye]

Wow I have some of the exact same pictures, I loved the Bahai Gardens especially. Rosh Hanikra caves were a little short but that view (I have the same photo) is the best I've ever seen.
