We travelled to Cevlek on Friday 16th Feb with Mike and Homer.
Chan and I went and checked out the Titus tunnel while Mike and Homer visited a friend. Mike said that this tunnel was started by Titus and then finished by Jewish slaves after 70AD when Jerusalem was destroyed.

Cevlek is on the waterfront of the Mediterranean. It is mentioned in Acts that Paul and Barnabas set sail, it was from this location.

ST PETERS CHURCH IN THE MOUNTAIN BEHIND THE CITY
They say this is the oldest Church around and is where the first believers were called Christians.

We are thankful to God for our time in Antakya. Thankyou Lord Jesus for making it all happen and for the experiences we had here.

This blog is not to boast but to give an account of our travels. It is I guess the truth of what happened and not some lie that got spread by gossip or a messenger of satan. If you believe a lie then you become part of the curse attached to that lie.

All that matters really is that Jesus is the KING and he got up from the dead. I know this also that Jesus is building his church and the gates of hell will not stop him.

Innisfail Joys and Tableland Joys Climb Bartle Frere

Bartle Frere from the Top

Innisfail - Tableland Joys at the Bottom of the Climb

The walking track from the Tablelands ascends approx. 900m. Bartle Frere is 1634m above sea level and the start point is approx.700m Abv sea level. The track is about 7.5km longitudinally which makes for a 4 - 6 hour climb and 4 hour descent depending on fitness level and amount of talking on the way.

Windam Falls off the old mail track that goes to Cairns from Tablelands.

(I don't know the specs on this one.)

Hannukah - Kibbutz Baram 2006

Volunteers Sing "This Little Light of Mine"

Bit of a rough rendition but I was surprised how many volunteers got up.

The three day tour with Kibbutz Baram was great, we went to Mini Israel, a Bedouin camp and rode some camels, Masada, Judean desert and then Eilat for snorkelling and sailing. One of the best trips I have been on. I think it was the end of November around the 29th.
