Our second Tiyul was on the 29th we went on a hike near to Lavi first we went to Mitzpe Netofa. It is a religious kibbutz in Galilie. However we didn't go in we just went up a big tower. There we could see the most amazing view. We saw kibbutz Lavi and we also saw other Jewish and Arab settlements. We were told about how you can tell if it is an Arab or a Jewish village because the Arabs built theirs on the bottom third, high enough to see enemies close enough to the water sources. We also saw the Kinneret. However it was far away and so we decided to go closer.
This was when we went to Kibbutz Alomot. Once there we went up another, slightly smaller tower. It was very close to the Kinneret. There we could see some small islands in the middle which showed us that Israel really dose have a drought.

Our first trip
A marzipan factory
The first trip that we went on was to the marzipan factory. It was in Kfar Tavor a small town in the north of Galilie.
We were originally going to plant trees however the weather was not permitting.
The reason that we went to the marzipan factory instead was because to make marzipan you need trees. These trees are almond trees. In marzipan there is sugar, water and almonds all mixed together. We were then shown around and we saw loads of different amazing models made out of marzipan.
Some of the ones were...
1. Elvis Presley,
2. Fruit and vegetables,
3. Fast food,
4. Heads
5. Markets,
6. Biblical stories
7. And many, many more.
To round off an amazing trip we were then given small amounts of different types of marzipan to make whatever we wanted out of them. I made a lollypop, strawberry and many other things. The marzipan has a very weird taste and you don't know if you like it or not.
That was the end of our first trip and it was very enjoyable, even if planting trees would have been very, very fun as well.
Missing you all
