Bayle's Israel Adventure
Hey, I am back in Vancouver and I am going to come back to school on Monday!!!
I am sorry that I did not get to post that much about my trip but I didn't have time to.
After we were in Jerusalem we went to Eilat. I went to this place called 'King City'. It is an amusement park. I went through all of the sections. The theme of the place is all about Jewish Kings. There was a water ride called Samson's rapids, a bible cave, a 4d movie and an illusion room.
Samson's rapids is a watter ride. While you are on the boat you learn about Samson and then you go down a big drop and get wet! it was a lot of fun:)
In the bible cave you walk through tunels and stop when you see a certain light. You press a button for English or Hebrew and then you hear a shortened version of a bible story like the tower of babel or Adam and Eve.
The 4d movie was all about ancient Egypt. It is really cool because in one part of the movie there are a bunch of baby crocodiles on the screen and they look like they are coming to get you. They seem to pass right through you and while that is happening you feel little bumps and tickles on your ankles. Creepy!
The illusion room has a lot of fun things to do. There is one thing were you sit on a chair and try to pull your self up to the top with a rope. It is really hard. There is also a tube and you talk through it and then a person at the other side of the room talks back. The illusion room is kind of like Science World.
After Eilat we went back to Jerusalem. We stayed with friends. One day when my Dad had meetings I went to school with my friend Aviva. She goes to a school called Horev. It is a religious school. So religious that girls and boys can't be in the same class or the same building! And...they are not even allowed to talk to each other at recess. My friend and I broke that rule.
I met some nice kids at the school. It was really hard to understand all the Hebrew that was going on. Everyone spoke soooo fast. The teachers were ok. School started at 8:00 and went until 3:15. After school we went to a Makolet for a snack. We got a chocolate bar. Then we walked home
I had a great trip to Israel. I traveled around, I visited friends and I ate A LOT of great food. I can't wait to go back.
