Winter Prep

It's cold and wet here in Jerusalem, which helps explains why January is low season for tourists in Israel. But that doesn't mean tour-guides go into hibernation. Instead, this is the perfect time to prepare tours for when the weather will be hotter. With that in mind, I headed north and checked out Safed, Tel Dan, Banias, Nimrod's Fortress, Majd el-Shams, and Mount Bental, before finishing off with a well deserved soak in the hot springs at Hamat Gader.
