Day 11: May 13 (Friday) A free day to revisit places in the Old Town of Jerusalem

On this last full day we get our final chance to go back to the Old Town of Jerusalem and see some of the sites for the second time, or try to see some new places. The bus takes us there in the morning after breakfast, but I think some people did not wait for that way to get there, and started their day on foot a lot earlier. It would be nice if they shared the description of their adventures here.....

Well, I decided to stick with Fr. Martin and Ryan, they seemed to have a good plan, well balanced between some shopping, sightseeing and sampling Israeli foods for the last time..... We wondered the narrow streets, stopping at gift stores, getting some souvenirs. At one point we ended up in an alley that seemed to be more for locals than tourists, no tourist is looking for this kind of stuff.....

Fr. Martin tried to buy some wool for making prayer ropes, but the thick type he needs would require ordering from a catalog, all they had there was lots of ugly acrylic.....

We bumped into "our" people from time to time, it was rather fun.

We ventured again into the Church of the Holy Sepulcher, and the tried to walk around the perimeter of the wall surrounding the old town, but the cars ran us off the streets and we ended up back in the narrow streets, towards pizza place for lunch and a meeting to take the bus to the hotel.
