      Galilee in the footsteps of old JC

      July 2, 2017 in Israel ⋅ ☀️ 33 °C

      Just as a side note, bloody hot in Israel. High 30's to low 40's everyday we have been here and humid too. Locals reckon it's a bit unusual to be so hot. Must have bought the Aussie climate from the outback with us? Today we went in search of ancient biblical footsteps. Namely those of the one and only JHC. To put this into some context, not a soul here disputes his existence, Christian, Muslim or Jew which I found intriguing. We have already chased a few of his footsteps back in the old city of Jerusalem. Today is about where he actually lived and preached. We visited the church where JC gave the famous sermon on the Mount, where he performed the miracle of feeding the masses and of course where he walked on water. The sea of Galilee. Which by the way is fresh water. Seeing it was so hot, had to take a dip. If I learned nothing else today, it's that I definitely can't walk on water unless we allow water skiing. The water is too holy. Boom, boom. By the way a great spot for watersports and anyone with a speed boat or jet ski.Read more
