Hotel: St. George’s cathedral pilgrimage 

Christina and I hit the city hard. We did everything on this list in a day:

- Old City 

- Western Wall and tunnels 

- Tower of David 

- Church of the Holy Sepulchre 

- Temple Mount

- Mount of Olives 

- Garden of Gethsemane 

- Christian, Jewish, Muslim and Armenian Quarters 

- Mahane Yehuda Market 

- King David’s tomb

- Dolorosa Market

- Cardo

We started our first day with the Holocaust Memorial and the Israel Museum. The Israel Museum has some great history on the formation of Israel. The Holocaust Memorial, while well done, was not quite as powerful as visiting the concentration camps in Germany. 

Our second day involved about 40 kilometres of walking. We did everything, got lost in the old city all day long, and stopped for many Fanta breaks. 

I’ll update this post with history later.
