I made a split second decision to visit Jerusalem after booking my flights home. After coming from Tel Aviv it seemed a bit of a strange place, I don't know why it just was. I stayed near Jaffa Gate.
Obviously it had a very historic feel to it, the old city was like a maze and I got lost several times. Only managed a days exploring because of the rain.
From the city I did a daytrip to the dead sea, unlike the pictures you see on TV there was no one actually in there floating and reading a newspaper. In fact there were lots of no swimming signs.
I went straight to Ein Gedi national park which was full of school kids. After passing the waterfall it was a long hot shadeless walk to the top.
Seen a Hyrax which stayed nice and still for the camera unlike the Ibex which ran off.
I walked all the way round the top of the canyon, if I had got there a couple of hours earlier I would have had time to go all the way to the top. Still it was a great day out
