Jerusalem gets under your skin

Yesterday there was actually no internet available :O.
And there was also no network.
Only at the top of the mountain.

But from the beginning.
We arrived at the Bedouin camp. Desert as far as the eye can see. And it wasn't that easy to get here, because the camp is behind a training camp for future soldiers of the army. Some ceremony led hundreds of people to take the same path, and so only the fourth Israeli soldier (by the way, really cute) could give us permission to continue, as we were apparently not interested in being appointed officers.

In the camp there were horses, donkeys, dogs, cats and even three peacocks (plural of peacock, I googled it - don't doubt it).
In the evening we were cooked for and in the morning there was plenty of delicious local food.
The night in the desert was really cold.
I was already wondering what the thick blankets in the bed were for, when it was a pleasant 25 degrees. Less than three hours later, I was glad to have them...

Today we continued to the big city at 10 o'clock - the last few days we will spend in Jerusalem.
We were warmly welcomed by animals here too...

We were at the Mahane Yehuda Market, had enough of so many people who are still shopping before Shabbat, and sought refuge in the oldest tattoo shop in the world, which one part of us didn't leave quite unscathed.

After a coffee, we ended up in a church, which later turned out to be the tomb of Jesus.

Time passed quickly and we set off back to our accommodation, because Shabbat has begun and well... you don't have to visit a sex shop every Shabbat...

This is the same market as above, just three hours later during the Shabbat break:
