Our 1st day in Jeruzalem

Finally we are in Jerusalem. Checking at Schiphol airport went fast, unfortunately mom had to drive back to our apartment because we forgot our glasses. The flight on itself was longer than expected due to the bad weather. On the plane there was a kid that was crying a good deal of the time, this made our flight even longer. Finally at 3.15 am we finally set foot on Israeli ground. The airport has changed a great deal since the last time we were here. At 4.40 am we checked in at the Moriah Classic were we will be staying for the next 1.5 weeks.

Today we went to the Kottel and walked through Jerusalem. Everybody wants you to buy stuff by them and we said no to everybody. At one point we were a bit lost on our way to the Jaffa gate. A little boy saw us and walked with us for a few minutes and explained how to get there. When he left, he said:"can I have some money?". Sneaky little bastard. At the end we found it and walked around quite some time. At Jaffa Street we saw my friend Keren, which was a suprise. We ate at a Kosher Burger King!!!!

Tonight we won't do to much but are going to sleep on time. it has been a few long 2 days.
Pictures will be uploaded as soon as we can.
Till the next blog!
