Jerusalem - Part 2

We had a really good tour round by a guy who used to live in Jerusalem - there's so much history here...it almost overwhleming. We followed the Stations of Christ - basically the points during his final days - for example, when he first dropped his cross, when his brow was mopped, etc, etc. It s amazing to think that we were actually standing in the same location...

The Wailing Wall - note the messages insterted in the cracks - the Wall was covered in them...



The Zion Gate - note the bulletholes...


Christ's Last Supper and the street outside the tomb of King David.


The 8th Station of Christ and the King David hotel - what contrast...


Just as we left Jerusalem, we stopped at a Vineyard on the way back - now the last time I was in Israal I tasted the best wine I think I'd ever tasted - Tzora Wines. I looked in vain in the UK for a supplier but never found any - it just so happened that our guide decided to take us to this particular vineyard. Needless to say we had a great afternoon wine-tasting followed by a couple of purchases...
