After a night of singing with our guard Niriyah playing
the guitar, we woke up to sunrise which was beautiful to put it simply. We had
a hearty breakfast where many sandwiches were made for the 'experience' ahead.
Straight after breakfast, Vasim, our driver came, we filled our water bottles,
loaded the bus and started the descend
down a beautifully cut out v-shaped valley - that took us to the Nachal Kziv Valley, known
as one of the most beautiful trails of Israel. After swimming and making our way through the water, we continued walking, during which, many topics where discussed, many litres of water were drunk and many sandwiches where consumed.
Then we bussed off to the next location, the Keshet
Caves, located in the Upper Galilee. Long ago, there was an actual cave there,
but it collapsed, leaving just part of the arched limestone ceiling intact. The
magical view through the arch frames the Western Galilee and the beaches of the
Mediterranean. We went down the caves by cable cart where we ate our lunch.
We then set off to Jerusalem and the bus was the
quietest it has ever been due to everyone sleeping.
After dinner we had a session to prepare us for Yad Vashem tomorrow.
