Mt Tabor and Arbel

We then stopped to see Mt Tabor and hear the story of Deborah and Barak who defeated Sisera at Mt Tabor.
Then a brutal climb- (maybe it wouldn't be for all of you but for Dad and I it was!!) up Arbel Nature Reserve to have a magnificent view of the Sea of Galilee and Magdala where Mary Magdala was born.
We then returned to our hotel to have dinner and rest before we went for a night cruise on the Sea of Galilee and heard the stories of Jesus on the Sea of Galilee. It was in many of the stories of Jesus. I've heard people say that things were only a short distance (walk) away. I don't believe it any more. Where we came into Israel from Jordan we crossed the Jordan River where Jesus was probably baptized by John the Baptist and then went 80 miles north to the Sea of Galilee to our hotel. Now they may have gone more directly than we did but you can't cut a lot of miles off the trip. They walked MANY miles.
We packed much into each day - that's why it's hard to pick a favorite thing , there are so many wonderful sites and sights and things we heard and did!!!
