After an eventful night at the Bedouin Tents, the group woke up and had a traditional Bedouin styled breakfast. After breakfast we hurried on the bus eager for our Negev Desert Hike. On the hike we saw packs of Mountain Goats roaming the mountains of the Negev. The hike took around an hour and a half, but was well worth it when we reached the peak of the mountain. At the top of the mountain we all took photos from the beautiful view.
Following the hike, we ventured back to the Bedouin Tents for the CAMEL RIDES!! The camel rides were definitely one of the many highlights of this trip which we are all so privileged to be apart of. Everyone loved the camel rides and riding them through the Mountains of the Negev.
After we finished with the camel rides, we drove to the fertile portion of the Negev to learn about Israeli Agriculture. We found ourselves in the Salad Trail. At the Salad Trail we picked our own carrots, tomatoes, oranges, lemons, and strawberries. It was a fresh fruit and vegetable Buffett!! We also learned about the techniques that the Israeli farmers use to produce optimal crops for their consumers.
Following the picking fiesta we learned about homing pigeons. The tour guide for The Salad Trail gave each of us a pigeon to release in the air. We counted to 3 and everyone released their pigeon into the sky. The pigeons all congregated in the sky and all went back 'home' to their cage instead of flying away.
We then headed to Kibutz Kalia to spend the night!
Until next time ;)
