The heat was unparalleled to anything i ever felt before. It was 6:00 pm and it felt like it was already noon. 

My suprise.

I had not known our honeymoon destination until i boarded that plane. Israel! A country that i had always longed for, dreamed about going to and now has made a step into it. David was..still is my soulmate . With every move he made he succeeded to knit us closer. 

His masculine scent emanated me as his long strong arms held my waist. He kissed my neck ovewhelming my sense of reasoning.

"Sweety.." 

"Mmmmh.... yes love."

"Our ride is here."

I opened my eyes lazily to meet the gaze of Eyal our tour guide. We were going for a day tour of Jerusalem and Bethlehem from Tel aviv. I closed my eyes and before i knew it he was carrying me into the tour van. I opened my eyes only to meet the eyes of a grinning Eyal from ear to ear trying not to smile. 

"Boker tov madame, sire." He said 

"Boker tov." We responded while David place me on the seat. 

The scene was breathtaking. Who knew a desert could be this beautiful. Our fast stop was at Mount zion then mount of Olives

. Looking down at the Jerusalem city at a glance was theraputic and so was posing for David to take the photos together with Eyal. We then visited the Church of the holy scelpture. The walk between the quarters from Muslim to Jewish to armenians then to Christian was such an amazing experience. Jerusalem as a whole was a mordern city that had the ability to make you travel two thousand years back within the snap of a finger. We walked through the market place bought alot of leather bags and sandals. 

Then to the wailing wall. I found it strange that some people had to walk backwards from the wall after prayers but hey who is judging. 

"If i ever have to stay in Israel i would choose Jerusalem."

"Not Telaviv?" Eyal asked with a huge israeli accent.

"I think i love Jerusalem because of the different religion merging together and also its old walls that just take me so far back. Everything about it is amazing."

"Tel aviv to death.. its more fun for me especially during summer like this we stay in the beach whole day then party all night." Eyal responded making a short dance move. 

I laughed and threw my head back as i looked at David aproaching with a black cap on top of his head. All men had to wear that before going to the wailing wall for prayers. Jewish tradition.

"You made a prayer for me."

"Yes i did."

"Now what?"

"Now we go to King Herod's palace (Davids city) and learn all the history before going to Bethlehem." Eyal responded.

I enjoyed every moment in Jerusalem and Bethlehem the city of Jesus birth. It was such a shame Eyal couldn't go with us into Bethlehem because of the enemity with the palestinians. After such along and wonderful day we spent at a hotel in Jerusalem. Our fast day was amazing filled with love and a fun loving tour guide.

As i smeared the dead sea mud on my body on my body i could not help but feel gladness in my heart. These  were God given days in a God given country. After one dip and taking a few photos David a nap by beach. He was feeling too itchy because of the concentrated salt upon some minor cuts we only discoverd when he enterd the dead sea water. The lowest point on earth. The dead sea. And we floated. No sign of life yet so much fun we had with Eyal floating on top of it. Our initial stop had been Masada to watch the sun rise and after this we we going to the city if Jericho.

Read " Imagine Mountains " by the same author ( DORSILA ANYANGO )

. The night was going to be spent on the desert camping all night.

"You two have true love." Eyal commented

I was taken aback abit because it was the last thing i expected my tour guide to say.

"You think?" I asked not knowing what else to say.

"Yeah believe me in that van i have toured around many couples and families but never have i come across such love as you have."

"How so?"

"He is your world and you are his world and your belief in God almost makes me believe in Him."

I looked at him and wonderd.

"Why don't you believe?"

"I don't know i geuss i just never came around to it, besides its easier not believing in such."

"Dont you ever wonder what if. I mean have you seen how your country is beautiful? How protected you guys actually are despite everything you guys have been through. Have you ever wonderd at the end of it all what would it be like or better still Who will we be going back to?"

He must have been thinking of it. This was quicker than any conversation of faith i had ever experienced or heard of.

"I will take the leap of Faith." Eyal replied unsure of what he was saying.

"Not a leap of Faith a step of Faith."

A sense of dread filled my stomach as our plane took off. 

"Honey are you okay."

"Yeah babe how couldn't i be after such an amazing honeymoon." I said feighning a smile and kissing him lightly on the lips.

We had concluded our twelve days honeymoon in Israel. The day before we concluded our trip by lazing aroung the beach in Tel Aviv.

We had made a trip to North and visited Golan heights one of the finest wineries together with the beautiful Bahai gardens in Haifa. Going around the sea of Galilee and into the city of Magdala ended our North tour. After a two day tour around all the places in the North we had crossed over to Jordan to the city of Petra. It took us three days in Jordan and we enjoyed each other's company together with the beautiful stories we got to hear and the sites we got to see

Now i was on my way back to my own country and inplace of happy newly wedded couples was a Danny filled with dread and a David wondering what could be wrong with his wife.
