On our third day we didn't do that much. We did however visit some beaches in Rosh Haniqra to take pictures of the sunset over the Mediterranean Sea. The view was absolutely stunning. It went by so fast, I hope we'll have another possibility this week to take more pictures.

It is a very nice place to visit, but it's hard to take a picture of all the historical city elements because it's now full with electricity cables, airconditioners, tv-antennas, commercials and much more. We finished the day by visiting the caves of Rosh Haniqra during sunset. Although the caves are very nice they are too dark to take good pictures without a flash. From the outside though, it's a magnificent place to take pictures. We spent a couple of hours doing so, even when it was fully dark I tried long exposures of the wild sea.

The remains of the old kibbutz can be visited, but we were out of luck, not when we were there. The huge powerplant which uses water from two rivers to provide power is now deserted and visible from outside. After this we visited the Sea of Galilee (or Kineret in Hebrew). This huge lake is getting smaller and smaller, but still provides a very nice view in the area. We also overlooked it from the Golan heights. After this we visited Kursi, where an ancient monastery, church and chapel were found. Some mosaics can be seen, while some walls are still standing. Finally we finished the day with a beautiful sunset over the Mediterranean Sea from a beach near Rosh Haniqra.
