Jordan ⋅ ⛅ 13 °CWe visited Kat's favourite restaurant to round-off the trip. See you at the end of the month, Mole!
Palestine ⋅ ☀️ 9 °CThe shared taxi station to return to Allenby Bridge is near the Damascus Gate, under the Golden Walls Hotel in a price car park. It's easy to miss.
Palestine ⋅ 🌧 10 °CWe visited Gethsemane, the Kidron Valley, and reentered Old Jerusalem through the Lion Gate.
Palestine ⋅ 🌧 9 °CThe streets were crowded so we looped around the south walls of the Old City. It was well worth the walk! Connecting the Jaffa, Zion, and Dung Gates, through the Armenian Quarter, and taking in views of the Dome of the Rock, Tower of David, City of David, and West Wall.
Israel ⋅ 🌧 10 °CWe visited the Israel Museum. It was good, very big, very interesting exhibitions and sculpture garden. Highlights included a 9,000 year old sculpture and Sigmund Freud's rings.
Palestine ⋅ 🌧 10 °CWe're staying in the St. George Cathedral Guesthouse and drinking in the American Colony Hotel Cellar Bar. Sting stayed here. I recommend both.
Palestine ⋅ 🌧 12 °CI didn't really understand just how many Christian sites would be in Jerusalem, and how dense they'd be. Within about an hour we'd seen The Garden Tomb and Golgotha (if it's at Skull Hill), the Holy Sepulcre (which feels like being deep, deep underground) and the Via Dolorosa.
Palestine ⋅ 🌧 18 °CKing Hussein/Allenby Bridge, on the border between Israel/Palestine and Jordan. Not much to look at but an important bridge.
Jordan ⋅ 🌧 18 °COur first night on holiday, in the Kempinsky Hotel at the Dead Sea.
Jordan ⋅ ☀️ 36 °CKat found a posh hotel having a soft opening. It's the Al Manara and so far it's perfect.
