Experiencing the hike with the Jesus Trail tour of Cana Guest House

This was the second day of the nine days of hiking tour with Cana Guest House.

The boys from Cana Guest House, who picked us up yesterday from the airport, warned us about the heath while walking, and were full with good advice. Well, I would say that I know that it was good advice, yesterday it sounded like playing mother over us.

What I like about this tour is the flexibility. We went to Bethlehem and we wanted to see something different then normal. We called Cana Guest House and they led us to the ‪‪Jacir Palace Hotel in Bethlehem. What an amazing thing is that.

We spent a good two hours staring at this strange, but beautiful place.

We spent further loads of time in Nazareth and visited the Mary's well, Church of Annunciation, the White Mosque, but the market was closed (we were there at 5 AM!). We also visited the sisters of Nazareth and the Terra Sancta monastery. Amazing places, and guess what? They were also awake and up working at 4 am like us.

By the way, it's a good idea to start early in the day with the Jesus trail or their hiking tour! Except that most of the shops are closed then, but at least it's cheap.

We walked further quickly to Zippori, but I don't like that mosaics. Who care about that. And one ruin is the same as the other ruin. One stone they claim is two thousand years old and the other stone three thousand. I think that the stone is a new one, made look old.

Mashad is ... alright I guess. It's an Arab village. Nobody speaks English or anything else then Arab. Pity.

But the scenery is fantastic and no crocodiles. Well, at least we didn't see any.

Kfar Cana is nice. The streets are so small. And those who are driving there looking like French or Italian drivers. It's beautiful actually. Cana Guest House is nice too. The owners are friendly and helpful and flexible. And guess what? Our luggage was neatly stacked in a secure room at the Cana Guest House. No issues, no problems, only smiles and cakes and drinks and snacks.

Until now the hiking tour is great. They say it will be better soon.
