Traveling to Tiberius on the Sea of Galilee
Half way around the world, I am traveling by myself for two
days off. It involves going through the
checkpoint, catching a bus to Jerusalem, a train in Jerusalem and finally a bus to the sea of Galilee.
Once in Jerusalem I walked to the train station, however the directional
signage was in Hebrew.
When
my turn finally came, I was relieved to see that I could request the screen to
show English. However, the machine would
not take my 50 NIS bill.
Now I was on
the hunt for someone who understood English and who had change. Success, ticket in hand I boarded the train
for a trip through Jerusalem. I knew I
had to get off at the central bus station, fortunately, the stops are shown in
three languages, Hebrew, Arabic and English. I departed correctly.
I knew from the Internet that I was to catch my bus at platform
20. Walking along the street, the bus stop
numbers only went up to number ten.
On the hunt
again for someone who speaks, English. When
I found the English speaker, I was directed to a building across the
street. It was the central bus station but there was no bus in sight.
Once inside, I finally got to Platform 20 to start my 2 ¾-hour
bus trip to the Sea of Galilee.
All the while being comforted by the scripture that tells us in God we live, move and have our being,
