Day 16 - The Holy City
... lots left. Today was an overwhelming day and we are broth very tired after our city tour. Jerusalem is an incredible city, not just for its spiritual and historical significance. The city is much bigger and more modern than I thought it would be. Buildings are only aloud to be built with lime stone, following on the old city's look. Building is only done on hills, with the valleys left as green belt. This means there is a lot of green belt. Rather startling taking ...

3 days in Jerusalem
... amazing views of Temple Mount and the Old City
Lots of tourists here. I think mainly American. All very LOUD and can't stop talking. Seems its like a pilgrmage to come to Israel and speak Hebrew based on bits of conversations i have overheard. And I wasn't eavesdropping - as I said, they speak very LOUDLY. Not my kind of people although I'm beginning to wonder who is.
So much to see and do here. You need alot more than 3 days to see just half of it.
