Day 17: Blessed are the...

Today started with a visit to the ancient boat. A first century fishing boat found in the mud in the Sea of Galilee, when the water level went extremely low after years of drought. We watched a fascinating video on it's discovery and subsequent salvage.

We then boarded a boat for a ride out onto the Lake for some quiet reflection.

After this we travelled a short distance to the magnificent Mount of Beatitudes where we celebrated Eucharist and enjoyed a lunch in the conference centre.

A visit to Capernaum to the ancient synagogue, House of Peter, Church of the Loaves and Fishes.

A very long and hot day which ended with a much needed swim in the lake before dinner.
