Rimonim Marys Well Hotel Nazareth

... Gelukkig maar, want Linda ontpopte al snel als irritant zweverig wijf, wat heel erg van natuur hield, en daarom in de stad naar hagedisjes ging zitten kijken.. <br><br> 's Avonds bekeken we nog even snel de grote kerk, die is gebouwd waar Maria de Blijde Boodschap kreeg. Bizar ding, pas 40 jaar oud, en echt wel uniek ontwerp met een soort doorkijk naar de zolderverdieping.. 's Avonds aten we duur in ons eerste echte restaurant: El Reda. Heerlijk arabische mezze ...

... kinds of things and then we went to another house to hang out with some more of the Kibbutz members who were all also wonderful people. I dont know where the time went but I had been in Nazareth Illit for 12 hours and now it was time for bed - crazy!<br><br>In the morning I went to Nazareth and had another amazing falafel sandwich, I saw the Church of the Annunication which is the site where Mary had the msg from god informing her she would have a baby. The church is amazing and has great ...

... everyone uses everyone's stuff), and drove to this touristy spot on the Mediteranean on the Israeli-Lebanese border. There's these grottos that formed inside the cliffs that are quite beautiful. Unfortunately it was pretty busy and touristy. The entrance fee included a 'light &amp; sound show', which talked about how legend tells us that a bride-to-be was forced to marry this guy she didn't want to, and threw herself off those cliffs, and now you can still ...

... kriegt. Erst die letzten beiden Tage ueber waren sie auf einer Orientierung in Tel Aviv, bei der man ihnen erklaert hat, wie es in Nazaret so laeuft. Als ob man dafuer eine Orientierung braucht!! Alles Abzocke, aber die Jungs und Maedels machen den Eindruck, als ob das eh Mammi und Pappi bezahlen und Geld keine Rolle spielt... Wem's gefaellt.<br><br>Der Plan fuer die Schlussetappe lautet also wie folgt ...

Am Donnerstagmorgen mussten Thomas und ich nochmal die Fuehrung anbieten. Aber dieses Mal war die Qualitaet praktisch wurscht, denn unser einziger Kunde war der am selben Morgen angekommene Neuling in unserem Volontaer-Team: Chris. Chris kommt aus Riverside, Kalifornien und hat gerade sein Studium der Internationalen Beziehungen abgeschlossen. Er ist absoluter Essens-Fanatiker, wird fuer vier Wochen bleiben und ist, nun... ein typischer Amerikaner eben. Er ist recht intelligent, zeigt das aber ...

... Eingang wird man von mehreren Familien Klippschliefern begruesst, jenen kleinen Nagern, die mit den Elefanten verwandt sind und sowohl in Kenia, als auch massenhaft am Kap der Guten Hoffnung in Suedafrika zu bestaunen waren. Die vielen Steinboecke, mit denen wir aber schon vor unserem Zimmer im Gasthaus Bekanntschaft machen konnten, sind an dieser Stelle auch eine Erwaehnung wert. Aber das absolute und unschlagbare Highlight Ein Gedis ist das Wasser und die ...

... toilets I went to the left, however I didnt notice an signs, so I immediately turned around to look for a sign. out front was a photo of a woman with babies so I assumed that the right was femals and left side was males. After finishing, I was washing my hands and noticed a man walk by in front of me. I wasn't sure if this was a mirrored reflecction of in actual fact; so carefully, without anyone noticing i extended my arm through to find NO MIRROR! Therefore boys and girls pee ...

... We stopped by Hummus Sayid. The place was packed with 50 more people waiting to get in. Luckily they have a take-out window. We took our hummus, pita &amp; pickles and sat on a bench by the port to eat it. We walked around the portand then headed back. It had gotten so crowded now with Muslims, it started to feel uncomfortable. We were anxious to get out, especially when horse &amp; donkey rides were interspersed throught the people. We finally ...

... once again on our way. Our next stop was at the Church of the Primacy of St. Peter, another tiny spot with beautiful stained-glass. Much of the floor of the church is covered with a big rock. It's appropriate since Peter (Latin - rock) was the rock (English - rock) on which the church was built. And the church commemorated Jesus choosing Peter to be the first pope (I can say that because it was a Catholic Church). On the other side of the church ...

... Korazim National Park. It's another hot sunny day and we note little shade as we park our car at the entrance to the remains of this Jewish town where Jesus had spoken. We put on our hats, backpack with water bottles, and with cameras dangling from our necks, we approach the park entrance. We use our national park pass and Harvey notes that we have saved 36 NIS; we're still keeping track of our savings with the pass. It's definitely been a good ...
