III - Yarkon & Tel Afeq-Antipatris

The tour continued north along the Mediterranean coast. We crossed the Yarkon river and then went inland a little bit to Rosh Ha Ayin (Head of the Springs) to the Yarkon National Park and the Tel Afeq- Antipatris site.

We visited the ruins of the Cardo and the Fortress.

Sat in a rocky hollow under a big shade tree while we heard the history and the Bible stories related to the area.

Last three pictures taken from the Blue Bay Hotel just north of Netanya on the Mediterranean coast. This was our lodgings for the first night. The rest of the tour group joined us at supper time to make up a full compliment of 66 persons. We had a get acquainted meeting after supper where we each introduced ourselves. Helmut had a swim in the pool before supper and several of the younger folks went for a swim in the sea.

I looked at all three sets of your pictures so far. It looks both beautiful and interesting. Was it hot in the daytime?
