JErusalem day 2 - HIstorical side of JErusalem
The second day of our trip in Jerusalem was looking at the historical side of the city. We started off at the city of David where we had a tour of the area. We went down to the dry tunnels that used to be used as a water system and walked through them. It was about a five minutes walk through the narrow tunnels to come out at the bottom of a big hill we then had to climb back up.We then walked into the old city where we had to do a scavenger hunt around one area. My team won and we got a bookmark as a price.We then went for a cash lunch and I had a delicious burger. We then went shopping and I managed to find a can of air selling for 20 shekels. Very clever bisiness idea if you ask me! After this we went to The Davidson Center. This was donated in order to excavate some of the southern side of the Kotel. We went and saw an amazing animation showing a 3D reconstruction of the temple. It was really cool as the lady controlling it took us through all the streets as if we were walking through. We then went and saw the ruins of one of the mikvas outside the kotel and got on the bus back to the hotel.
Day 1 In Jerusalem - Time Elavator, kotel and kotel Tunnels
To start the day off we had to get up even earlier so that we could leave on time. We had a 2 and a half hour journey and onced we arrived our first stop was the time elavator. THis is what we did last time we came out to Israel, however this time they had changed it and it wasn't as good as last time. IT showed the history of Jerusalem though a simulator journey.
THat night we had the best supper in a long time because we were in a proper hotel!
We then went tothe Kotel.
For some people this was their first time and so when we got there they said shechianu.
We then went right up to the wall and i did ma'ariv. It was realy nice because no bird did their bisiness on anyone.
OUr final activity for the day was the KOtel tunnels.
THis was really goood because i found it very interesting and when we got to the clostest that we could to were the holy of holys would have been i said the Shema.

The Beach Walk
On Wednesday, we went on a beach walk north of Haifa,We were going to do it on Sunday but the weather wasn't nice,Today however the weather was beautiful,The walk started with us climbing over a gate for the toilets
Then the man who owned it came and told us to go away and stop using the toilets because they were locked.Stupid to have locked toilets what is the point.We then started the walk along the beach. It was really fun running along with Naomi, Zoë and Rachel and they were collecting shells. The sea looked amazing!!!We stopped of at some ruins from the Chanukah time of the Greeks, It was a port which when the Romans controlled Israel was no longer used because they built an even better one.We carried on walking until we came to another beachy area. On which we played all sorts of things for half an hour.There was the most amazing sunset ever!!!!!!!!!!!!Amazingamazingamazing.IT was a bright orange sun and it looked like it was sitting on the water with swirls of clouds in different shades of orange all round it.
AMAZING!!!!!
AMAZING!!!!!
AMAZING!!!!!
But I am really annoyed because my camera had run out of battery so I couldn't take a photo.We then carried on our walk back to the bus.It was now dark and we lay down on the sand and we looked up at the stars and kept quiet,hearing the waves was so refreshing!One OF the Most amazing days ever!

Zichron Ya'akov
Today we went to Zichron Ya'akov,
Is that the place where Jonny lives what is his surname and what are the childrens names.
Someone from liverpool lived there so i want to know if they know them.
We went to the detention center, where the British kept the illigall immegrants who wanted to live in Israel after the war, before it became Israel. we saw were they first went, and where they slept,
it was very interesting.
We then went to the Aaronson house.
It was all about the NILI organisation to help the brittish win the war and take over Pallestine.
We were told how they were caught and what happened to them.
It was very cool when we went into the actuall place where one of them commited suicide.
It was interesting trip and on Wednesday we are going on a beach walk.
