After a long 10 hour flight, we arrived in sunny Israel. It was already super hot by 9 AM. We got some cash, our phones and headed off on our grand adventure.
Our first stop was at the aquaducts in Caesarea. Right next to the Mediterranean was a 9 mile long 2000 year old aquaduct that was built by King Herod. We shot some group pictures and splashed in the turquoise waters. We took our sandy feet back onto the bus and started towards Tzfat.
After a some quick naps on the bus, we got some lunch in Modern Tzfat. We ate falafel and shwarma from tiny restaurants. With some food in our bellies we trekked down the slippery stairs to the old Tzfat. We took in the beautiful view of the mountains and the valleys. We visited the candle factory and saw many meaningful candles along with Harry Potter broomstick candles and rubber duck candles and then went on to the shops before heading towards our hotel.
After another quick nap on the bus we arrived at our hotel and played musical rooms. After we all got settled we ate a wide variety of Jewish and Mediterranean food. After stuffing our faces we did some quick icebreakers and got to know each other a little bit better. We parted for the night and we are preparing for another exciting day in Israel tomorrow!!
