More than a Stroll in the Park!!    Monday 12 March 2012
Guide: Sharona Liman
Our first stop is at The Olympic Experience, a museum that passes the message that each and every one has the right to realize his dreams. We shall take a virtual trip through time, passing through several visual and interactive stations, moving from ancient Greece and including segments about the murder of the 11 Israelis at the 1972 Munich Olympics and Israel's six Olympic medalists in its short 61-year history.
Our next stop is to the Hayarkon Park, here with aid of golfing carts we shall explore h the 3000 dunams of lawns, groves, bushes and diverse vegetation. Our guide Sharona will tell us about The Cactus and Succulent Garden from the African Savannah, The Habanim Garden, a memorial garden in memory for all the sons of the Tel Aviv-Jaffa residents who fell in the various Israeli wars, The Garden of Eretz Israel Rocks & Plants an impressive collection of the various rocks from the Hermon down to Eilat. Our final stop will be to the port. An undulating boardwalk, whose unusual shape was inspired by local sand dunes. A breakwater, small marina and the mouth of the Yarkon River provide the rest of the backdrop of this preferred destination for joggers, cyclists, families, the perpetually cool, indeed for anyone looking for a good time. Here you’ll have time to recharge your batteries at the local cafés.
