ISRAEL 7: Haifa, Oct. 18, 2009

On my own, last day in Haifa. Still incredibly hot, but I walked westward 3 km from the Colony Hotel to the cable car station on the Haifa shore. Rode the cable car up to the Carmelite Monastery; rode back down to the National Maritime Museum. Took a bus back to the hotel. After cooling off, I walked eastward to a tiny fish restaurant for a late but wonderful lunch, then made my way by subway to the Carmel. After refreshing at Arcaffe on HaNassi Blvd, I took a cab down the hill to the hotel.
