Our Israel venture!

During the easter holidays, we flew to Israel to spend four days there.. Its amazing, that despite all the political problems in Israel, its very well developed and they have no inch of a land that has gone waste! Either its building, or vast agriculture lands or else its land with some forest vegetation! We stayed in Tel-Aviv, a city that never sleeps.. Even at odd hours in the night, u see people cycling and going around.

Day1- we went around Jerusalem, then crossed over to Palestine to see Bethlehem, then drove to Mount olives and to Dead Sea.


Day2- We visited Nazareth, where Jesus grew as a carpenter. Next stop was to Jordan River, where Jesus was Baptised by John the Baptist. We also had the St Peters Fish from a Fish Travern.
Day3- Our destination was Haifa- to the beautiful Bahai gardens, then the large sea caves. We also enjoyed a boat ride.. By then Annabel could not sit any longer in the car for long drives.. So we took her to a park near by where she played till she was tired!
Day4- Our trip was almost at the end. We went around Tel-Aviv, to the SaFari, Carmel Market and then off we drove to the Airport to catch the flight back to Cyprus .

Will Miss you, Tanu..

Tanu, another of Annabel's friend is moving to India.. They were pals from very early. To get Annabel do something, we would say, " if you do this.. we will take you to Tanu's house" .. She is surely going to miss Tanu ! On a sunday, we called them over for lunch and i made this spider man cake for Manu.. We also got the girls to pose for pictures :)

Exploring Mathkaloni village

On one satruday afternoon, we went exploring an abandoned village.. We did not know the exact way and had to call up our friend every now and then for the directions.. The village itself didnot have anything exciting.. but the drive was good and we got to take some very good pictures..
