Sailing Tonight

First day in Haifa I went for a walk around the town on my own, not a lot to see, except maybe the Baha'i temple and gardens.
I'm still not sure if they're worth the hike? Haifa you see is built into the side of Mount Carmel, and the Baha'i temple is about 3/4 of the way up... Valerie counted the steps up and there are 378... I was to busy trying to breathe to count...
Day two we decided to goto Nazereth by local bus it cost 28 Sheckles each return, that's about £5 so the buses are great value and comfortable. The journey took about 1 hour each way so we got to see quite a lot of the countryside. Btw the buses are every 10 minutes, we could learn a lesson from them. I can definately recommed it as a way to visit Nazereth from Haifa. Just incase anyone actually reads this, the bus is the number 331 and you get it at the little bus terminus right outside the port, and the port entrance is 4 to 5 minutes stroll from the ship. If you want to get a taxi instead the ones outside the port entrance are cheaper than the ones right by the ship.
