Tuesday, we shared a few Polaroids the boys of Black Lips snapped and captioned on their recent Middle Eastern vacay. As promised, here's the second (and final) installment of the series, which finds the Lips finding magic in Jaffa, disproving hundreds of years of geographical science, and running into an apparently universal ailment: a busted animatronic pizza mouse. Hey, it still beats the hell outta the Jersey shore.

Check out more vacation video footage here. Good Bad Not Evil, the Lips' latest good, not bad, maybe a touch evil LP, can be yours September 11 from Vice.

Left: "In Jaffa, during a full moon and Jupiter is in the 7th hour, trees mysteriously levitate a la David Blane"

Right: "Kibbutz! Livin freedom, breedin demons, token weedom."

"We tried to take these kids to chuck e' cheese for some slices afterwards, but it was closed for repairs"

"We were trying to walk on water. See - the world is flat."

Left: "We could almost smell the freedom from this side of the wall."

Right: "They say a picture is worth 1000 words this one is worth about a 1000 dicks in the mouth. This is manhood genuine. Who's my boy?"
