Travels of Adam? Travels of a wombat! Wombat Wednesday follows Mr. Wombat on his travels around the world.
Mr. Wombat looks sleepy. That’s the Sea of Galilee on the left. This was just as we were beginning our drive back to Tel Aviv (during which we got stuck in frustratingly jammed traffic).
Everyone always recommends seeing the north of Israel—the Golan Heights and Kinneret (Sea of Galilee), etc… But, without a car, it’s rather challenging. Solution? Rent a car!
Renting a car in Israel is actually rather cheap (compared to my only other car rental experience which was in Boston). For under $90, my friend and I had insurance & a decent car for 3 days. We covered hundreds of kilometers and went up and down mountains (with some constant encouragement of our car’s ability).
Israel is a small country and we covered a lot of ground in just a short time. On our road trip through northern Israel we visited the following:
- Caesarea
- Akko
- Rosh Hanikra
- Acre
- Banias Falls
- Tiberias
