Israel trip
We took most of the Year 9 kids to Israel last week - very tiring but a great trip.
Here are some of the places we visited and things we did:
- Sea of Galilee: swimming and night-time boat trip
- Ein Gedi, where David hid from Saul - swam in the waterfall pool
- Negev desert: slept in Bedouin tents, camel riding
- Swam in the Dead Sea
- Herod's palace at Masada
- Visited a Kibbutz school
- Kayaking on the River Jordan
- The children's memorial at Yad Vashem
- The Kottel (The Western or Wailing Wall)
- The tunnels under the Kottel
- Yom Jerusalem march
- Via Dolorosa and stations of the cross
