Bathers in the Jordan, reputedly at the spot where John the Baptist
baptised Jesus Christ
 
 
The Sea of Galillee...actually a medium sized lake
 
 
 
On the Golan...Mt Hermon, still with a little snow
 
 
Golan Heights, since 1967 most of Israel's fruit and wine is produced here. Syria is in the
middle distance
 
 
The hotel we stayed at on the Sea of Galillee
 
 
A hyrax
 
 
View of Tiberias across the lake
 
 
Roman mosiacs at Sephori
 
 
 
Tel Megiddo, the biblical Armageddon.
 
 
The prototype of the wheel, excavated at Megiddo.  It took another 1000
years to work out why it gave a bumpy ride
