s dragging me away saying just leave it alone we re on vacation hilarious these kids have no idea what it s like to be hungry and cold on the rock of nfld all in a fabulous day and the night left the camera at home fun food and dancing posted by don sharpe at 2 39 pm 2 comments our trip to israel part 7 now we re on a roll bunked up at the bell boutique hotel just a block from the beach in tel aviv we re where the action is okay it s a little noisy but we re here to see it all our first stop today is the better place visitor centre this electric car project is amazing we were allowed to test drive one of the new electric renault sedans very quiet luxurious and fast whooo hoooo then it s off to the latrun armored museum huge display of tanks from every era of israel s history soldiers only too happy to show off their vehicles and practice their english again we left our deets when they said they d like to come to canada when their military service time is over this day was also memorial day and everywhere we went we were able to witness the reverence israeli s have for their war dead latrun was no different as these young men stood at attention beside their wall of remembrance during our visit the latrun trappist monastary is right across the road and ayalon canada park is a beautiful big acreage for picnics and camping just north a couple of miles across the main highway then it s a short drive to the ayalon bullet factory museum where 8 meters underground just before 1948 war of independence the kids at the ayalon kibbutz produced over 2 4 million rounds of 9mm ammunition right under the noses of the british fantastic tour and story lots of time for questions and to marvel at what these early settlers accomplished posted by don sharpe at 2 00 pm no comments our trip to israel part 6 as the rockets rain onto israel from gaza again today more than 75 in the last 3 days i d like to share with you my trip to sderot my missus stayed in tel aviv that day shopping and touring with toby i rented a nissan juke hilarious if you speak hebrew juke means cockroach and drove first to the not yet completed women of valor center in nitzanim 10 heroic women including mira ben ari stayed behind to fight the egyptian invaders on jun3 7 1948 after a chat with the new curator about opening dates fundraising and the work left to be accomplished i m riding da juke south to sderot thomas is waiting at the sderot media centre for my noon arrival after introductions my journalist s tour begins at the police compound where we re examining casings from rockets which were recently fired into israel from gaza sderot is the town with the most bomb shelters per capita in the world every home has one every bus shelter is one the children s school has a bomb shelter built over it every business and public building has one some of the best new music to come out of israel originates in sderot bands use the bigger shelters as practice spaces during the attacks we took a trip to journalist s point where you can see into gaza imagine living next to a group of people who fire rockets into your neighborhood from this far away every day and night it s law that you mustn t wear your seatbelt and you have to keep your car window open so you are able to stop your vehicle get out quickly and lay on the ground when you hear the code red siren stopping into the sderot magen david ems stn we took a tour of the first rate ambulance service that cares for israelis in the area what a terrific friendly brave bunch these pararamedics are this was the first ems station i d ever seen that had a bomb shelter in it so after a drive to the gaza checkpoint no pictures allowed for good reason we tripped back to sderot and had a late meal of pita w 3 kinds of hummus delicious this working man s cafe was a perfect place to relax and talk with the locals after this tour why do you stay here if it s so dangerous i asked one couple because this is our home we will never leave she said posted by don sharpe at 11 39 am no comments wednesday june 13 2012 our trip to israel part 5 israel has been at war with their enemies for years long before 1948 this rich and tragic history of struggle and triumph has built into the country and her people an indomitable spirit and a passion for living in the moment ammunition hill was a jordanian police training facility before june 67 more idf soldiers were lost here than in any other single battle during the six day war yad vashem the holocaust museum the hall of names the railcar the rightous among the nations as the last direct victims of the concentration camps pass away this monument lives and breathes their plight with truly beautiful and horrific displays this is one of the top 5 sites to see in israel plan to spend several hours here and do not miss the children s memorial irgun museum in tel aviv every jew had the right to enter palestine only active retaliation would deter the arabs only jewish armed force would ensure the jewish state the irgun were an offshoot of the haganah the precursor to the idf the irgun were zionists who felt the haganah were not adequately defending jewish interests in the region critics of the hagana leadership slammed the lack of weapons and the hagana policy of restraint in not fighting back in short these fighters were bad ass arab killers they were not interested in negotiating any kind of false peace with israel s enemies operation black arrow 1955 extensive infiltration of fighters from gaza murdering israeli citizens near rehovot idf soldiers destroyed their camp and wiped out their egyptian reinforcements another historic example of what happens when you push israeli s too far posted by don sharpe at 2 19 pm no comments our trip to israel part 4 is it time to talk about the food yet omg the food in israel is fantastic breakfasts at every single place we stayed was magic lots of fresh veggies spicy yogurt and fruit and shakshuka a hot breakfast of salsa style tomato peppers with an egg cooked in the center the huevos rancheros of the east one of our favorite restaraunts in jerusalem was pasha s at 13 sheikh jarrah we absolutely destroyed and entire table filled with delicious kabob and side dishes www pashasofjerusalem com smoking is ok and after dinner relax with some shisha part of the reason the food is so good has to be because it s so fresh local produce is delicious and the spice market is the envy of every cook i know be sure to stop at any of the fresh juice street vendors and the tables filled with nuts and nougat the perfect pocket snack for an urban day hike when you re out and about you re going to run into a lot of soldiers these young men and women are from all over israel most speak excellent english are very friendly we found they were always terrific ambassadors for israel and enjoyed chatting with us no soldier will ever accept a ride from other than official gov t vehicles as the risk of kidnapping is still very very high cafes pedestrian malls and public transit were the places we always found a friendly smile and great conversation with these young adults posted by don sharpe at 12 05 pm no comments our trip to israel part 3 okay is it possible to visit qumran where the dead sea scrolls were found masada and the dead sea all in the same day yes is that the best way to enjoy these historic sites no even if you are familiar with the literature photos and movies to really experience and enjoy these important places you ve got to take your time see masada in the morning when it s cool and the dead sea experience in the heat of the afternoon trip into occupied territory anyone we were in a cab back to our hotel one afternoon when khalil email khalil taxi hotmail com offered to take us to bethlehem 400 nis includes transportation and tour guide through the church of the nativity khalil phoned khalid enroute and he met us at the church small groups with an experienced guide often get to go where larger groups cannot and the intimate nature of a smaller group befits this sacred place after our tour we of course were escorted to a friends place where the famous arab hospitality and haggling over souvenirs began some baklava and sweet mint tea lots of laughter and probing conversation finishing with shopping bags filled with local olive
