Shalom dear reader,
A short trip across the Dead Sea yesterday afternoon and we arrived in Tel Aviv. We were wisked (the travelling Nebotean in the front seat noticed the speedometer at 130km at some stages) to the hotel in Jerusalem, settled in and ventured out for dinner.
Today we exlpored the local area, including the welcome find of most travellers - the laundrette who takes your desert red clothes and returns them washed and folded in just a few hours. Fortunately our cultural tastes are higher than laundry and we walked to the Old City from the hotel and self guided ourselves around the Western (wailing) Wall, Jaffa Gate, Zion Gate, Church of the Holy Sepulcure and tried (mostly unsuccessfully) to work out which street we were in.
Tomorrow we go to the Old City as part of the tour as well as the Mount of Olives.
Will sign off now dear reader, as yes a G&T awaits, before we meet the rest of the group.
Shalom
The travelling Neboteans

The trip continue to sound wonderful. Your description of your trip from Tel Aviv to Jeruselam resonates with me - on a trip to Isreal many years ago I seem to recall a "hair raising" (ie high speed) journey from Tel Aviv to Jeruselam in a big black mercedes taxi - must be part of the Israeli adventure!! Continue to enjoy....
