the eilat coral reef

I am in Israel and I am going to go to the Eilat coral reef. People say that civilizations have lived here before, but over 10 000 years ago. They proved this by discovering the caves and prehistoric temples.

The Eilat is located in the northern pat of the red sea. The red sea is said to contain over 4500 km of coral reefs.

The Eilat coral reef is one of the most northerly set reefs in the world.

This reef gives many animals protection in case of a storm or bad weather.

When I arrived I was so excited! I was going to go snorkeling in a one of a kind coral reef.

All I could smell was the salty water and I couldn’t believe how good salt could smell once it was mixed in with a bit of water.

When I was in the clear blue water I could see fish and sea creatures everywhere.
It was exhilarating! I had been in a coral reef before but this was a totally different experience. There were fish I have never seen before and endless amount of colorful corol.

When we were finished (It took up the whole day) I could still feel the rush of adrenaline. I loved it!

We got in the car to go back and I collapsed once I was inside it.

Ok I will speak to you soon…
