Israel - Day Two - Haifa


And now for something different – a segway ride through the streets of Jaffa! After a quick lesson on how to drive a segway, we were off to discover the beautiful seaside ancient town of Jaffa. We were frankly surprised how quickly we learned how to maneuver it! For two hours we drove along the seawall – zigzagging around people, cars, and shops. It was really great fun and we got pretty good at it! Nurit was waiting for us in her cute apartment just one street back from the beach in Tel Aviv, with lunch she had prepared. Off we were again, since Hillel had to see a patient back in Herzaliah, Jennifer, Stephen and I walked the beach near his office. Back again to the apartment for a snack and to pick up our luggage. The trip up to The Port of Haifa was an hour – to return to our ship.
Hurwitz’s – thanks for two terrific days! Of course, we were sad that Jonas, Nava and Raziela were not in Israel (they were spending Passover in Sydney Australia), but glad we had this opportunity to spend such quality time together. Your hospitality is incredible and we hope to reciprocate one day soon!
