Day 35: Shacharut Ascent Camp ground to Timna Lake



The tough climb up to the plateau was made bearable by listening to Jeremy’s stories from school and college days – which really kept me entertained. It can be tough spending a long time with someone, especially in these circumstances and being at such different stages in your life, but I think Jeremy and i have done really well. We have intelligent chats about life and Judaism, fun chats, stories and singing, serious ones when we need to clear issues and overall have got on well. Coming to the end of the trip we started reflecting back and looking forward



As it got hot we found a tree giving minimal shade and managed to create our own extra shade for a well earned schloff.



We arrived at the gate of Timna Park, where we were soon picked up by a kind worker and taken to the lake on the other side of the park. The lake is a touristy camping area with showers, large Bedouin tents, camels, donkeys and some people making pitot with humous, labana and sweet Bedouin tea. We were fed along with a group of German tourists, and once every thing hd been cleared away we had the place to ourselves – once again unexpectedly provided for in everyway.
