Why is it called a Sea when it is a Lake? Oh, the Jews actually call this Lake Kinneret.
Here's a photo of me on the boat before setting off.
The Singapore and Israel flag flying high on the boat.
Enjoying the morning sun and the scenery. 
Taking a moment to be still before God.
Taking a moment to be still before God. This is where Jesus walked on water. This is where Peter walked on water.
This is where our Lord Jesus Christ calmed the raging seas and winds and said "Peace! Be Still!".
This is where with the help of the Lord, they caught many big fishes.

11am On the way to the Mount of Beatitudes!
Inside a catholic church which is built on the Mount of Beatitudes. They believed that it was here that Jesus gave his first teachings (Matt5-7).
Blessed are the poor in spirit for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. I still remembered the time I did the study on the sermon on the mount. It was amazing to realise that there was a reason for the sequence of each beatitude. No wonder in Matthew 7:28-29, it says that "When Jesus had finished saying these things, the crowds were amazed at his teaching, because he taught as one who had authority, and not as their teachers of the law.
Everywhere there's this sign that says "Please see a sister before entering". I was so scared to see a sister. With all the pox coming up, i was afraid to be labelled as unclean! =P
Here is where Jesus preached to the thousands. Here is where Jesus feed thousands with 5 fish and 2 loaves of bread!
And have you ever wondered how is it possible that thousands (probably about 7 thousand people) can hear the what Jesus was speaking? It's amazing to know that the waters help to amplify the voice up the shores. Wow! God's Creation!
Know what does "Tagba" means?
At the entrance of the church where they claim was a rock where Jesus placed the 2 fish and 5 loaves of bread.
Here's the rock with the inscription with the famous symbols.

Blessed be the name of the Lord that I can still travel to the Mount of Beatitudes and sail on the Sea of Galilee!
