Haifa and the German colony

 In the nineteenth century, a group of Germans moved here. They were sent home during the Second World war but the Jewish government did pay them for their property. Today German colony is an upscale neighborhood of Haifa.





I had just arrived by bus from Jerusalem, took a taxi to my hostel which was near the port. Haifa is laid-back and friendly. My first stop after being given all kinds of instructions on how to get around, was to walk to German colony. The weather in February was so pleasant, bright sunshine and clean air.
