With the entry into Jordan we experienced the biggest culture shock of our trip so far. When filling out the entry form, we laughed about the fact that David had to state how many wives he was traveling with. The next morning we realized how serious this question is in Jordan. More about this later…
We spent our second volunteer assignment with a carpenter / beekeeper / gardener on a privatized kibbutz near Tel Aviv. Under the name Ivry-B, Eran and his team produce round wooden beehives. Thanks to a transparent cover, the bees can be observed without disturbance.
The very day after our arrival in Haifa, we left for our first volunteer assignment near Tiberias on the Sea of Galilee. Our host and employers were enthusiastic hydroponics professionals with a lot of innovative and pioneering spirit.
The fact that the ferry from Turkey arrived in the port of Girne at 08:30 instead of 04:30 came in convenient for us. We did not have to wait on a park bench until dawn, but could go directly to a coffee. 😊
Fortunately, we have titled our posts on Anatolia unspectacular and never concluded with “… third and final part”. Now we continue just as unspectacular… 😊
