After a brief WC and coffee stop at 'Gangaroo' (Aussie wildlife park - Israeli style) we headed to Nazareth. We stopped here for a visit to the Basilica of the Annunciation.
We then went to visit the Sisters of Nazareth who have discovered first century houses and tombs under their convent. Quite fascinating to see them in their original condition, rather than the human intervention we've seen in most other places.
Then onto Cana for a visit to the supposed site of the wedding feast.
Who would have thought they would market 'Wedding Wine' in Cana!
We then arrived at our accommodation 'Pilgerhaus' on the shores of the Sea of Galilee. What a beautiful unspoilt and lush place. I see why a certain man wanted to spend his ministry years here! A quick swim (the water was 28 degrees!), freshen up, and dinner in very tropical conditions was the perfect end to a long day.
