We reached the Red Sea at the southern tip of Jordan and crossed over to Israel. We worked our way back north, sharing buses with the country's uniformed-youth with machine guns strapped to their backs.

We managed to find several versions of Israel in our short time in the country. The artistic community in Mitzpe Ramon, the cosmopolitan bustle of Tel Aviv, the historical epicentre that is Jerusalem, and the political storm still swirling in Palestine.
