This morning we took the guided tour of the Bahai gardens (you have to take one to visit the sight).  They’re built into the side of Mount Carmel, and probably the most beautiful gardens in the world.

Then we took the train to Tel Aviv and went to Jaffa for the afternoon.  The narrow cobblestone streets make for a very pleasant wander.  We checked out St Peter’s Monastery (The Church of St Peter), the Wishing Bridge, with its signs of the zodiac on the handrail, and the clock tower.  The Artists Area has some great souvenir shops but unfortunately most of the stores were closed for a religious holiday.

Then we came back to Tel Aviv and went for a swim.  Once again we stayed at the Mugraby Hostel in Tel Aviv on Allenby Street.  Yerushalayim beach is only a 5 minute walk from the hotel.  The Mediterranean is beautiful and warm.  Tomorrow morning we head to Paris.
