Monday, 20 August 2018

Our first stop today was the safari and zoo in Ramat Gan. We only visited the zoo itself briefly, but we really enjoyed the drive through the safari and took lots of pictures. I've posted some of them on Facebook.

From there, we drove up to Atlit, not far from Haifa, where we visited the detention camp there. This camp with built by the British in 1939 to try to prevent Jews desperately attempting to escape Europe and the Holocaust from finding refuge in the Land of Israel. We learned many more interesting details about the story while there.

Then we continued to Haifa to the place we are staying tonight. It's a small hotel, with only 5 rooms, but we are the ONLY guests tonight, so we have the place to ourselves.

I walked a total of 4.4 kilometers today.
