While they were here we traveled around seeing this amazingly rich country in nature and historical treasures, meaning that I have a lot of visits to account to you all - I will take one adventure at the time.
The story begins like this ---.
Once upon a time a young lady was traveling from Jerusalem to Ben-Guryon airport to greet her family there. Little did she know that her Parents had missed their airplane in Turkey, when she was almost at the airport her phone began to ring --- We missed our airplane we will be coming around 2 o'clock in the night. Instead of taking with a Nesher back to Jerusalem she choose to wait in the airport - let us just say she suffers a little from her Jutlandic - save money, mentality.
She was a bit confused concerning the family not reaching their airplane- usually they were particularly punctual - so how could it happen that they missed their Airplane? -Mother nature had intervened in their travel plans. It had taken longer to reach Turkey than planned, they had before hand asked if the agency was sure they could reach the next plane in Turkey if they took this flight - yes was the answer, but it showed to be untrue, and the family had to spend several hours in the airport in Turkey.
The young lady spend eight almost nine hours in the most boring Airport in the world. They had no benches, no rooms you could rent, not a big choice of stores. So what do you do when you are sitting nine hours in such a boring place? --- You Eat. lucky for her, she had brought her laptop with enough power to last three hours. Thanks to Ben Guryon for Internet access in the airport. After eight hours her family arrived to the Airport, it would take an hour before they had found their belongings and entered the arrival hall, where the very eager, tired and bored young woman greeted them with a balloon saying: Welcome. Why the balloon? After all the waiting, and the thought of her families frustrations over the long flight to Israel, she felt a strong need to find something half funny and half frustrated item to showcast their annoyance with the transportation system.
The four family members started there adventure in Israel with more than an hour long drive in a Nesher (Airport taxa),on bumpy roads and in higher speed than what they were used to from the Danish Traffic. Nevertheless, they survived the experience and arrived safe and sound in the young ladies apartment. - That was the first night of their visit.
When the family arose the next morning the country of Israel had chosen to show itself from its best side-The sun was shining from a clear heaven and the family could spend their first day, sitting outside eating breakfast. For the family coming from a snow-filled cold Denmark, it was the best gift they could have had. Then they decided that they wanted to see the city, and so they left to find an Arabic Bus. They started up by visiting The young ladies Work. They were met with an office on the verge of moving into new facilities. Yes ladies and Gentlemen the Caspari center is moving to bigger and hopefully greener pastures. Hurray!
The adventures saw the newer part of the city, they saw the Old city and finally the party of five reached the Western wall. The men went to their part of the wall and the three ladies left for the women's part of the wall. They found that the women for some reason had to back out of the sacred sight. While the three ladies where waiting for the men to return form the visit to the western wall, something unforeseen happened. The place was packed with tourist, packed with stern looking black coated Ortodox Jews, and heavily armed Soldiers. Then in this tense atmosphere a group of Jewish men burst out in Song, while dancing around in a circle. The group was very diverse from old to young people, from Ortodox Jews to soldiers with their weapons in place. This group started the dancing, and from all over the place Jewish men started to join the rejoicing. Why believe the story to be true - create your own opinion from this video.
After they had seen this Rejoicing, they went to a guided tour in the Western wall tunnel.
The tunnel exposes a total length of 485 m of the wall, revealing the methods of construction and the various activities in the vicinity of the Temple Mount. The excavations included many archaeological finds along the way, including discoveries from the Herodian period (streets, monumental masonry), sections of a reconstruction of the Western Wall dating to the Umayyad period, and various structures dating to the Ayyubid, Mamluke and Hasmonean periods constructed to support buildings in the vicinity of the Temple Mount.Warren's Gate" lies about 150 feet into the tunnel. This sealed-off entrance has been turned into a small synagogue called "The Cave", since it is the closest point a Jew can get to the Holy of holies, assuming it was located at the traditional site under the Dome of the Rock At the northern portion of the Western Wall, remains of a water channel, which originally supplied water to the Temple Mount, were found. The exact source of the channel is unknown, though it passes through an underground pool known as the Strouthion pool. The water channel was dated to the Hasmonean period and was accordingly dubbed the Hasmonean channel. The biggest stone in the Western Wall often called the Western stone is also revealed within the tunnel and ranks as one of the heaviest objects ever lifted by human beings without powered machinery. The stone has a length of 13.6 meters and an estimated width of between 3.5 and 4.5 meters; estimates place its weight at 570 short tons.
This Was some information about the tunnel, if you have never been there you should take the time to do so, it gives you an insight into how important the Temple is to the Jews, and helps you understand the conflict in Israel. Hang on as the journey continues for the five Adventures.

Mens de var her rejste vi rundt for at se dette utroligt rige land i naturistiske og historiske skatte, hvilket betyder at jeg har en masse at berette til jer alle - Jeg vil tage et eventyr af gangen.
Historien begynder sådan her ---.
Der var Engang en ung dame på vej fra Jerusalem til Ben-Guryon lufthavn for at hente sin familie der. Hvordan kunne hun vide, at hendes forældre havde misset deres fly i Tyrkiet. Da hun næsten var i lufthavnen begyndte hendes telefon at ringe --- Vi missede vores fly vi vil ankomme omkring 2 i nat. I stedet for at tage med en Nesher tilbage til Jerusalem valgte hun at vente i lufthavnen - lad os bare sige at hun lider lidt fra hendes jyske - spar penge, mentalitet.
Hun var en smule forvirret over at hendes familie ikke nåede deres fly-de var som regel ret punktlige. - så hvordan kunne det ske at de missede deres fly? -Moder natur havde interveneret i deres rejseplaner. Det havde taget længere tid at nå frem til Tyrkiet end planlagt, de havde før turen spurgt, om rejseselskabet var sikker paa at de kunne nå det næste fly i Tyrkiet, hvis de tog turen - ja var svaret, men det viste sig at være usandt, og familien tilbragte flere timer i lufthavnen i Tyrkiet.
Den unge dame tilbragte otte næsten ni timer i den mest kedelige lufthavn i verden. De havde ingen bænke, ingen værelser du kunne leje, ikke et stort udvalg af butikker. Så hvad gør du, når du sidder ni timer pået saa kedelig sted? --- Du spiser. Heldigvis, havde hun medbragt hendes Computer, med strøm nok til at vare tre timer. Tak til Ben Guryon for internet adgang i lufthavnen. Efter otte timer ankom familien til lufthavnen, det tog en time før de havde fundet deres ejendele og kom ind i ankomsthallen, hvor en meget ivrig og træt ung kvinde hilste dem med en ballon hvor der stod: Velkommen. Hvorfor ballonen? Efter alt den ventende, og tanken om hendes families frustrationer over den lange flyvetur til Israel, følte hun et stærkt behov for at finde noget halv sjovt og halv frustrerende ting for at vise alle fems frustrationer over den megen venten
De fire familie medlemmer startede deres eventyr i Israel, med mere end en time lang køretur i en Nesher (Airport taxa), på hullede veje og i højere hastighed, end hvad devar vant til fra det danske Trafik billede. Men de overlevede den kedelige oplevelse og ankom i god behold i den unge dames lejlighed
Det var den første nat af deres besøg.
Da familien stod op næste morgen, havde Israel valgt at vise sig fra sin bedste side-Solen skinnede fra en klar himmel, og familien kunne tilbringe deres første dag med at spise morgenmad udenfor. For familien, der kom direkte fra det snefyldte kolde Danmark, var det den bedste gave, de kunne opleve. Så de besluttede at de ville se byen, og de gik for at finde en arabisk Bus. De startede op ved at besøge Den unge dams arbejde. De blev mødt af et kontor på nippet til at flytte til nye fasciliteter. Ja mine damer og herre, Caspari centret er ved at flytte til større og forhåbentlig grønnere græsgange. Hurra!
Eventyrne så den nyere del af byen, de så den gamle by og til sidst ankom de fem til Vestmuren.. Mændene gik til deres del af muren og de tre damer til kvindernes del af muren. Her fandt de ud af at kvinder af en eller anden grund var nødt til at bakke ud for at forlade det Hellige sted. Mendens de tre dame ventede på de to mænd, skete der noget uforudset. Stedet var pakket med turister, pakket med sortklædte alvorlige Ortodoxe jøder, og tungt bevæbnede soldater. Så i denne spændte atmosfære brød en gruppe ud i sang, mens de dansede rundt i en rundkreds. Gruppen var meget forskellig fra gamle til unge, fra Ortodoxe jøder til soldater med deres våben på rette sted. Denne gruppe startede med at danse, og fra hele stedet, begyndte jødiske mænd at slutte sig til dansen. Hvorfor tro at historien er sand - se det med egne briller udfra videoen. ( se engelsk afdelingen)
Efter oplevelsen med de Dansende fyre, tog familien videre og tog paa dered guidede tur i Vestmurs tunnelen.
Tunnelen har en samlet længde på 48 m, den afslører konstruktionsmetoder og de forskellige aktiviteter i nærheden af Tempelbjerget. Udgravningerne omfattede mange arkæologiske fund undervejs, herunder opdagelser fra Herodianske periode (gader, monumentale murværk), dele af en rekonstruktion af den vestlige mur dateret til den umayyadiske periode, og forskellige strukturer dateret til Ayyubidisk, Mamlukisk bygget og Hasmonæisk perioder. Warren 's Gate "ligger omkring 150 meter inde i tunnelen. Denne afspærrede indgang er blevet forvandlet til en lille synagoge kaldet" The Cave ", da det er det nærmeste punkt en Jøde kan nå til det allerhelligste, hvis den ellers var placeret på den traditionelle hjemmeside under Klippemoskeen. I den nordlige del af den vestlige mur, er der rester efter en vandkanal, som oprindelig leverede vand til Tempelbjerget. Den nøjagtige kilde til kanalen er ukendt, selvom det passerer gennem en underjordisk kilde kendt som Strouthion pool. Den største sten i den vestlige mur oftest kaldet den Vestlige sten er også afsløret i tunnellen og rangerer som en af de tungeste objekter nogensinde løftet af mennesker uden strøm maskiner Stenen har en længde på 13,6 meter og en anslået bredde på mellem 3,5 og 4,5 meter. Anslåes at veje 570 tons.
Det var nogle oplysninger om tunnelen, hvis du aldrig har været der, bør du tage dig tid til at gøre det. Det giver dig et indblik i hvor vigtig Templet er for jøderne, og hjælper dig med at forstå konflikten i Israel. Hæng på, medens turen fortsætter for de fem Eventyrere.
