We had lovely views from the balcony as we docked in Haifa. The Ba’hai Gardens are something else! We took a tour with Guided Tours Israel this day (GTI) that would bring us to Nazareth, Cana, the Church of the Beatitudes, Tabgha, Capernaum, and the Jordan River at Yardenit. Our group was quite strange – no one talked even amongst themselves and our guide lacked time management skills so it was a bit of an odd day. We’re glad we did it but it didn’t leave us overly enamoured with what we saw.
High Seas: Day 4, Ashdod (Jerusalem)
We ordered our breakfast in our cabin to facilitate the early meeting time of 7:50 with our taxi mates. Our group was Debora and Neil from California, Fran and Ian from Montreal, Gunila and Ecran from Denmark, and ourselves. The disembarking process was fairly straight forward but with additional passport checks and security. Soon we were entering the taxi fray! Actually it wasn’t that bad.
