It is time for our day trip! We were ready to go few minutes before nine. Ok... We did drive one kilometre inside the base and then sit in the bus for 40 minutes before we move forward. On Sar-El trips we need one armoured guard for ten people, and we were a big crowd and needed a second guard. That is why we were waiting for so long. We had some more volunteers from other base nearby. Together we visited tank museum.
Tank museum is at Latrun, near Mini Israel.
Gee it was hot.
Merkava 4. What do I remember of it? Only small things. Surface is rough so dirt attach to it for camouflage. Thick explosive armor. You get in from the back. Joint is the weakest part, there is small balls hanging from the chains, if hit by a missile it will explode when hit the balls, before it hits the tank itself.
Oh lalaa.
Memorial with names.
One of the memorials inside. See faces of those statues, they are all the same, one fallen soldier.
Time to move on. We had lunch at Abu Ghosh. They say it is best humus in Israel.
Mount Herzl. National and military cemetary.
Again it was so hot we could barely stand up.
Rest in peace Michael Levin.
Our superb bus driver.
Jerusalem, near old town. Notice the fence far away.
Little pray at Western Wall.
Took our fellow volunteers back to their base. I was there last year and had to get out of bus and take a look how it is today. Nice covered paths you got there now! We got back to our home just before nine. I was tired and smelly.
