Day 5 & 6, At sea & Haifa, Israel

Our day at sea was quite uneventful. Bit of swimming, bit of drinking, bit of bingo. Don't know where the day went.
Most nights they have a mini show put on by the crew. This is looking down on it from the sixth floor, the show is on the fourth floor.

Richard played golf at the Ceasarea Golf Club, which is the only 18 hole golf course in Israel!! It was very flash, and I drove the cart. Richard played with two poms, one living in Tel Aviv and one visiting from London, who mentioned that Richards swing was very "agricultural".
After golf we went back to the boat for yet another 3 course lunch (pudding at lunchtime, what's up with that!)


After lunch we walked to the top of these gardens!! Which I think would have normally been quite straight forward, but they were closed for renovations, so we had to zig-zag around to get to the top. I really really wanted to catch a taxi, but apparently walking all this distance up hill in scorching heat is character building.

This is the view from top. And I did admit the view was almost worth the walk. Almost. Of course we had to walk back down. A drink at a pub on the road at the bottom never tasted so good.
