welcome to pinecraft. since starting as a tourist resort in the 1920s, this has become a holiday hotspot for the amish. we have a mural here depicting everyday amish life. and a friendly man welcoming us. maybe we can ride the horse. the amish are christians that have held on to a simple, rural way of life. they are best known for their regimented plainclothes, worn for reasons of humility and modesty. they also reject most forms of modern technology, some even avoiding electricity from the national grid. well, i guess we grow up working. i mean, we don'tjust sit around doing nothing. it's always, you've got something to do. and, like, in the evening, of course we read books. we don't have tv. and our children like to come home, we have cookouts. it is a very secure life. you grew up in an area where your life was always, sort of, you knew what to expect. course as time goes on it's not so simple anymore, you know? we don't do things like we did 100 years ago or 50 years ago. this might look like a normal

we heard there's a saying, whatever happens in pinecraft, stays in pinecraft. if this snake bites me, what happens? it is quite painful. right, to israel next and a journey that up until last year was not even possible. in a city already bursting with antiquity it seems unlikely that there would be much to discover underneath jerusalem, but there is, as rajan recently found out. it is a city that is home to the world's three major monotheistic faiths, drawing in more than 3.5 million tourists a year. and of course, it is the diversity of ancient monuments, civilisations and architecture that everyone finds so compelling about jerusalem. and historyjust keeps on giving, because every day, even now, new discoveries and secrets are being revealed. and in fact, one of the world's most significant and controversial excavations is taking place right underneath my feet. hi, nice to meet you. rajan. welcome, welcome to the city of david, the most spectacular place to be in israel. ok, let's go and take a look... this is franny, our guide, and excited about the excavati

pinecraft. so this game is called shuffleboa rd. yeah. and pinecraft. so this game is called shuffleboard. yeah. and what's the point? the point is to get your puck on the area that is marked. in shuffleboard, players are awarded points for landing discs within the scoring area. but landed in an area called the kitchen, and you are deducted ten points. so my teammate is the guy over in the blue. it seems like quite a popular sport. is the guy over in the blue. it seems like quite a popular sportm is, very popular in the wintertime down here. and away we go! so i will try to get up there that that's right. all right, here we go. my first ever shuffle. my first ever shuffleboard. three, two, one... i knocked us both out! i am hitting them, which i think is good. but no—one has scored any points. 0h. it turns out to be shuffleboard court is definitely the place to be. john has come over all the way from the hotel to cheer me on. i'm afraid you are not ready for the tournament. i was playing better until you showed up, iswear. was playing better until you

we heard there's a saying that whatever happens in pinecraft stays in pinecraft. every winter and spring, an estimated 5000 people come visit. but if you are not amish, you might have to prepare for a cold reception. they tend to keep themselves to themselves, not so keep themselves to themselves, not so much out of unfriendliness than modesty. and when the camera comes out, everyone tends to scatter. i've been a lot of places and i've met a lot of people, and i have fit in most of the time. but here, obviously i stick out like a sore thumb here, and i don't exactly know how to interact. so i kind of feel a little bit lonely at times. can you both tell me a bit about pinecraft? there is no other place like it in the world, i don't think. why do you say that? it's really a social life for all the people. you go to the park, it's kind of a gathering place where people come and visit, there shuffleboard down there. i think we've been very blessed to have a place to go like this, and the people accept us, and... and yes, it's quite unique. mike, living it up it's quit
