We went through Azzun, Jayyus, Kafr Jammal. Falamiya. Again through Kafr Jammal  and Kafr Tsur. We did not go beyond the Kafriat/Te'enim crossing, and decided to get to know the surrounding villages. We went through Kur, Hajja and stopped at the vegetable shop and a grocery shop Hajja seems to us as developed village…relatively many shops. The residents very pleasant and greet us.  We got to  Al Funduq and route 55.
