We started this traveling day by visiting the old city of Akko. The city is still surrounded by old walls and a lot of old buildings are still standing. 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.
