A single day upstairs and downstairs through Jerusalem is like a one-week training camp under Felix Magath (the grinder)!
Since this morning about 6 hours on your feet, from 9:30 to actually move the ball: first by the Arab old city up to the Jaffa Gate, which are added together to determine the 500 steps. There in the museum on the history of Jerusalem in David Citadel ; again approximately 100 steps - the whole return again and on the outside wall up to the tour, which one can go from the battlements of the old city wall. Down to the Zion Gate - again 100 up and down stairs.
from over there on the mountain -Zion, in the Chapel of the Last Supper and grave of King David . (Here, there's no time steps) but like every year, tourists and Christians from all men (or women) countries. While in the past year, mainly people from Gambia, Nigeria and Somalia - that is this year's semi-Latin America on the road to Jesus traces.
at 14:30 h again arrived at the hospice - until we exhausted with 100 kilos in the sun body lay on our beds, there were on the way back again to the 300 steps ... and now (18:30 h), yes, and now I have red cheeks, increased solar temperature and aching thighs. There are now outside on the terrace, which is already surrounded by deep black night, the first Israeli beer: Gold Star.
soon as the sun is gone, what happens quite early in the day (17:30 h), it is immediately sensitive to cool and the mixture of heated body and external left a feeling of freshness : I get a cold . But this is not so - but as Couch Potato to which I have developed, so lots of exercise and fresh air to very unusual. have
As elsewhere in the world is again some Things changed in Jerusalem: the square outside the central bus station is redesigned - the stops for the next year finally moving tram can be seen already and the prices have risen sharply: Arabic, at least in the old town. For two small pizzas, for which I had paid last year for 50 NIS, one has to shell out today measly 80 shekels. That means a price increase of 60% - add to that the very weak euro. As is the wallet cries of pain from you! For tomorrow we have
us the new city - that West Jerusalem made. On display there are enough Knesset, Israel Museum (in which some fragments of the Dead Sea Scrolls are on display) and of course, Yad Vashem.
from that, and what we have actually taken the program, tomorrow evening.
