Day 2: Thursday 13th July 2017

 Happy Birthday to Maya and Kezi!                                                                             

























Our day started off bright and early with a series of team games designed to not only be fun but teach us something about the nature of coordination as well (in addition to the importance of a 'dictator'). 














After a longish ride, we arrived at a detainee camp where we learned about what happened to Jews who, after the war, wanted to reach the promised land- Israel.  We learned about the uncanny similarity between this camp and the ghettos - albeit less harsh.









Following this we went horse riding, where many people overcame their fears and enjoyed the circuit across Mount Carmel.




























Hot and sweaty, we finished at a lovely beach where we played with the gargantuan waves and cooled off with some ice cream. After a long drive back (traffic) and dinner, we had a British/Israel themed quiz where many jokes were shared.
