After a looong flight (10 hours, with a tailwind) we arrived in Tel Aviv at 135 pm Tuesday the 21st. A 45 minute taxi ride to the hotel in Jerusalem (The Dan Panorama). We threw our stuff into a room and hit the bricks. 20 minutes away is the old city. We entered using the Jaffa gate, near the citadel. The pic to right is the reconstructed wall. This was taken on the way back.
We walked into the Arab market and window shopped until hunger overtook us.
We then ate at this little place in the old city, very good kebabs etc.The proprietor said he understood that the building was built in the 900's. Looks it.
Food was excellent. We talked to some folks from Australia that had been here for few days and got some neat tips about shopping, eating etc.
Glad to know that you arrived safely after your long flight. Know you must have been very tired. Your pictures are so good and glad to see them. I will keep reading your interesting posts. Be safe and have fun. Luv Gloria
