Day 11 - Saturday, July 18th

We had the day off today since it was Shabbat and the fields were going to be closed. We also didn't feel like hopping some fences again. We traveled up North towards the Lebanon border. We went to a place called Rosh Hanikra which is on the coast right on the border between Israel and Lebanon.

It's heavily guarded with radar towers, Coast Guard vessels cruising the waters and water buoys marking the territorial waters of Israel.

There is also a series of caves that are naturally built into the limestone cliffs.

We stopped for lunch and a dip in the Mediterranean on the drive back. You can see the Rosh Hankira in the background with the radar towers on top of the white cliffs.

We also stopped at the Crusader city Akko on the return. This was a city that was built by the Crusaders and then conquered by the Ottomans who built their city right on top of it. Today it's primarily an Arab city with people still living within the narrow streets of this old fortress.
