One Clumsy Step for Mankind

 I hope you all looked at the deliberate link yesterday so you could see what a rubbish blog looks like-a total sham of a farce of a travesty of what a real blog should look like-total rubbish and what is wrong with writing in the King's English? Anyway I digress. According to my technology today I took 18063 steps and I can definetely say that 18062 of those steps were perfectly co-ordinated and highly beautiful steps which propelled me forward in an efficient and aesthetic manner! However just one step I took was a total disaster resulting in me writhing on the ground like a beached whale surrounded by concerned Viennese onlookers(pity they couldn't have been so concerned during the 1930s!)

For the first few interminable hours we are bombarded by the history of the royal houses of Europe; take home messages: they all loved marrying their c

 Ami takes us to a rooftop restaurant for Israeli breakfast(called breakfast in the local lingo) Ami guides us through the undeerground bunkers of the crusader's castle We then follow Ami through the white market of Akko, sampling all sorts of delicious morsels along the way.

We eat our lunch near a castle and then continue our conflict zone tour along the border with Lebanon Opening of Hizbolla tunnel We are now transported to our new hotel which looks over the sea of Galilee
