My latest journey took place in Israel. A beautiful country that struggles with bad publicity and often with hate as well. I honestly don't understand why though. I've spent two incredible and unforgettable two weeks there. From sunset on the day of our arrival in Tel Aviv, the capital city of Israel until sunset on the following day was Yom Kippur that's Hebrew for day of atonement. During the whole day people aren't permitted to drive around with cars. The streets were empty as you can see in the first few pictures in the gallery below. Unbelievable how a whole nation can quit driving around with their cars for one entire day. The day after Yom Kippur we went to Jerusalem for one day. It was interesting to see the old city and how live looked like in the past. We also went to a huge street market. Besides traveling cooking is a passion of mine as well. So this was a unique experience for me since we don't have something comparable like this in the small village I live. Next I Visited a place called Masada a historical place in roman history. On the same day I also went to the dead sea. A remarkable experience as well. Even if you would try it's impossible to sink. Once the day was over I continued to the next adventure which was one night in the middle of the desert. There is a place called 'Succa Midbar' where a few people gathered together and started building little cottages. There were about eight cottages in total and I lived in one of them. With exception of the 'main cottage' there was no fluent water, electricity nor cellular. What an adventure! The food which was a small but rich buffet was so delicious. I was absolutely surprised. The next outstanding sight I've visited was the historical village Caesarea again an ancient place of the roman history.
