Armchair Tour Of Jesus


Path to the Crucifixion of Jesus
On our first stop Imogen and I walked the path that Jesus walked on his way to his crucifixion. It was pouring down rain which made it that much harder although we weren’t carrying a heavy cross we were struggling. After the 2 hour walk Imogen and I caught a taxi back to our motel, soaking wet, had a shower and went straight to bed, pumped for the day that was ahead of us.

Our visit to Mount Calvary
On our second day of the armchair tour of Jesus, Imogen and I visited Mount Calvary the place in which Jesus was crucified. It was sunny and there was not a cloud in the sky, unlike when we took the path to the crucifixion the day before.
The view was mystical and the sounds of   birds tweeting filled the air. We had never seen anything like it.

The Sea of Galilee
On the third day Imogen and I decided to camp out on the beach so we could spend the whole day at the Sea of Galilee. We jumped in a speed boat and went out to a small reef to go snorkelling. It was magical. Small fish swam below us as we watched down on them in awe.
After about a 1hour of snorkelling we jumped back in the boat and went out farther away from the reef to go fishing for our dinner. We caught our dinner and sped back to shore and made a     small campfire on the beach to cook our dinner, after our delicious dinner of fish we went to bed.
The fourth day
On the fourth day Imogen and I walked around Galilee and shopped a bit. We enjoyed a nice lunch at a small café. We had heard from tourists it was the best café in town, and indeed it was. After our lunch we walked to the beach and went for a relaxing swim in our clothes, making the most of our last day!  

Packing
On the last day Imogen and I were going to spend on our tour, we packed early and left our bags at the hotel. We walked to a lookout and watched the sunrise, and boy was it magical. After watching the sunrise for ½ an hour we strolled back to our hotel. Ashleigh, not seeing the tree, walked right into it, leaving a bruise on her left cheek. Imogen was in hysterics and not watching where she was going, tripped on a rock, leaving a bruise on her right arm. It was a memorable way to end our tour! After stopping to catch our breath we walked back to our hotel, grabbed our bags and headed to the airport!

  1. Good start. Try to include details that show you learned something about the times of Jesus, eg currency food etc.
    where is your passport?
