Day 6: Our first Day in Israel

This is the plan for the day -

6.00am Breakfast in the cabin.
7.30am Meet in the theatre ready for the day's tour (9 hours)

This is what the ship's tour briefing says - 

Discover Galilee and Nazareth’s sacred Christian sites - 

Begin with a visit to the banks of the River Jordan, revered by the faithful as the site where Christ was baptized by John the Baptist.

Travel to the Mount of Beatitudes, where Christ delivered the Sermon on the Mount.

From the terrace of the lovely domed Catholic Church, enjoy incredible views of the Sea of Galilee.

Visit the Church of the Multiplication, believed to occupy the site where Christ performed his miracle of the fish and the loaves.

Admire a beautiful 5th century mosaic floor depicting the miracle.

Travel to Capernaum, the centre of Jesus’s ministry in Galilee.

Finally, journey to Nazareth where you’ll find the Basilica of the Annunciation, said to mark the grotto where the Archangel Gabriel appeared to the Virgin to tell her that she would conceive of the Holy Spirit and bear a child to be called Jesus.
