Galilee, Israel 28 Dec 1997-6 Jan 1998

A picture gallery.


From Sachne ( Gan Hashlosha) near Beit She'an. Some claim it could be the location of  The Garden of Eden.  The water, constantly at 28 degees Celcius, is  pouring out from the cliffs approx.100m upstreams from the waterfall.  A lovely place to swim !
 

  Not suprisingly, the gees and ducks loved this place too.
 

  OO' ps.  Had to change weel on our way to Sachne in the Jordan Valley.  Me doing the repair work and my wife Kirsten inspecting.
 


Lake Tiberias, viewed from Kursi,
at the norht-eastern part of the lake.
 


Kursi, the location where Jesus freed a man from  a legion of demons which  moved into a flock of swines.  The swines perished by falling off the cliffs.  The ruins are the remains of a monastry.

The cliffs and remains of the monastry seen from below.


Ancient olive press in Kapernaum, the town of Jesus.
