Israel, day 2
Our first road trip in Israel took us up north, to Rosh Hanikra, home to white chalk stone cliffs, beautiful grottoes, and turquoise water. (In guidebooks, it is referred to as one of the most beautiful spots in the country – and I was eager to see it.) The grottoes are located just steps away from Lebanon so we took a peek over the border and snapped some photos (see photo 4 below) before heading down to the Old City of Akko, one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world. The ancient buildings were amazing to look at (see photos 5-7 below) but it was so hot that we didn’t stay terribly long; instead we headed to Haifa, cooling off at Gil, Karin and Lily’s house for the rest of the afternoon.
