  • The Golan Heights and the Dead Sea

    The Golan Heights and the Dead Sea

    So I’ve been quite busy this last week (but in a good way) as you might have deduced from my lack of posts. Well, I’m hoping you thought to yourselves he’s probably been busy having a  good time rather than the equally very real alternative of me being assimilated by a plethora of evangelical preachers!

  • A day trip to Bethlehem

    A day trip to Bethlehem

    Bethlehem is very close in distance to the wonderful but heavily disputed city of Jerusalem. Such convenient proximity made it perfect to plan a day trip here rather than needing to stay over and look for accommodation for the night. That said, did you know that Bethlehem is actually a Palestinian city located in the […]

    Hanging out in Jerusalem

    That title. As weird for me to say, as it is for you to hear. I mean, Israel. Jerusalem. Hanging out. Those words can’t possibly go together, can they!?

    Eilat, Israel: Like stepping into another world…

    Eilat is the town you default to entering when taking the Yitzhak Rabin land border crossing. By the time I had arrived in Eilat’s town centre, I felt like I had been transported back to the future, though only back to last year. You see, after six weeks in north Africa, the differences were both immediate […]

  • I entered Israel and wanted to leave immediately!

    I entered Israel and wanted to leave immediately!

    Two days ago I endured, but thankfully overcame, the three most incredibly difficult, unpleasant hours of my life. Take a breath folks for I have entered the Holy Land. I have entered Israel, by foot, via the most southerly land border. The bus from Dahab was nearly 45 minutes late. Bloody Egypt. We arrive at the […]
