Still not every question was answered with a photo. Questions remained:
- What is the old Jaffa like? – Our cute little camera changed owners in Acre, in the market crowd.
- Are Israelis friendly people? – Israel photos can’t show how really nice, polite and friendly they are.
- What happened at the Israel/West Bank border? – We were smart enough not to shoot with the camera which led to guards being smart enough to not shoot as well.

What a diverse country! I loved your mud photos. I have no doubt that this place would be so hot (like it is here in Australia). Great photo summary – I feel like I learned a lot 🙂

Thank you, Ali! I’ve never been to Australia but even with all the heat I think it will be impressive, just like Israel was!

Must try a mud bath, do you have to apply the mud yourself or does somebody do it for you?
Nace Sapundjiev
You should apply it yourself or ask somebody to help you 🙂
