vacation so far

God, I'm suddenly so tired. All the fatigue from the last few days had fallen on me all at once.
The place itself is great. We have a two-room small apartment, very comfortable and neat. And a great restaurant right here at the Kibbutz. (we just had dinner there). And there is grass everywhere, and the air is fresh and sweet-smelling.
Tuesday : I had a short heart attach when I realized I can't print the ref I need for Cymbalata. But it was solved. So,we left Haifa around 9:30 and headed north. Our first stop was Hahula. It's about two hours by car. Because it's off season now, there were not many people, and we were able to have a good walk around in peace.
After a short stop for lunch, we headed off to Marom Golan. (it's right at the Syrian border).
Dropped our things, and went out again for a tour at Haula lake. That was loads of fun. We rented a guided tour in a wagon. There were tons of birds,however I was not able to get good pictures of them.
Dinner was at an incredible restaurant called The Shulamit Hold. There expertise is smoked meat, and even I enjoyed it.
However the food was too rich for me and made me quite ill. (by the way, I'm now certain I can't eat cream cheese and so on because of Lactose intolerance: when I don't eat Lactose-rich foods I'm fine - no nausea, no messed stomach or anything.However,anything with Lactose makes me sick.)
The way back from the place was terrifying - pitch darkness, a narrow road, very steep, with lots of curves. Both of us literally feared for our life’s. So much that we changed plans and decided that fuck, no, we are not going far from the kibbutz in the evening again. (so today we ate at the local restaurant, and tomorrow at a place which is close by).
By the way, we had several "near things" on the road even by day. *sigh* I hate cars and travelling by cars.
Later we tried to sleep. Only to have a drunk group of pre-army teens party right near us screaming and laughing and messing around. I dearly wanted to kill the whole lot of them. Fell asleep at 2:30.
Wednesday : Woke up dead meat and Zombie, and to a rain. So, after breakfast, back we headed for a short nap until the weather cleared. Than we headed out to an old, old Fortress called Nimrod. We had spent nearly two hours there walking around, climbing a lot, and enjoying the incredibly beautiful place. So much history there, and so interesting and the view is beyond marvellous from there. You can see half of the Galilee from that point. And Syria.
Speaking of which - at some point we heard fearsome gunfire exchange. Over at Syria, I think. God,that stank. (all that gunpowder).
after another short, light lunch (I've avoided anything that even might contain Lactose this time), we headed off to the Bananas Falls.
That was the hardest, and most rewording, physical effort I've done in months. It was like two training sessions: So much stairs and walking over hard surface. But, god, how beautiful. It was worth it.Even if I've made my leg worse again. (It's hurting again, as if I've sprained it again).
Plans for tomorrow are to go to the Dan river, and than we will see.
Also. I miss the cats to a horrible degree. I think about them a whole lot and worry and look at pics again and again...so Polish it's almost a cliche. *sigh*
