The morning began with a typical Israeli (huge!) hotel breakfast, we then climbed Har Tzfachot. From the top we could see Israel, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt, reminding us how small Israel is, and how, despite its size, it remains so important as the only Jewish state in the world.
We then went to Hof Almog to go snorkelling in the Red Sea. The Red Sea has one of the most extensive coral reefs in the world, because it is so deep (something very rare for a coral reef). Everyone was amazed by the beauty of the coral and had a great time putting on the snorkel gear and getting in the water.
After snorkelling we had some lunch it was time to hit the beach. A welcome opportunity to relax, enjoy each other’s company, cool off in the sea and play games. We went banana boating and tubing, it was AWESOME!!!!!!!
At the end of the day we went to see some more of the Negev’s spectacular scenery at a place called the Red Canyon, which is only 200 meters long but it is deep and has beautiful red colours. It was a wonderful end to a jam packed day. We all need a good rest now.
