Tuesday 4th August:
We began the day with horseback riding in the Carmel. This was yet another incredible experience with the breathtaking Carmel backdrop.
We then had a go at archery which although challenging and not as easy as it looked, was a lot of fun.
Next was the Atlit detainee camp, a detention
camp that was established by the British at the end of the 1930s. The
camp was established to prevent Jewish refugees known as ‘Ma’apilim’, mainly
Holocaust survivors, from entering what was then the British Mandate for
Palestine. We watched a fascinating and entertaining re-enactment of one
of the boats sailing to the beach and the
Ma’apilim arriving at the camp.
We than started our drive back down to Jerusalem
where we will be spending the last few days at the Caesar Hotel.
