After a delayed arrival in Jerusalem this morning we set out on our truncated tour more than three hours behind schedule.
The Israeli authorities had notified our captain last night that, as there was a military exercise taking place in the area, our arrival to the port would be delayed. I felt sorry for the crew who had a mad scramble to reorganise all the tours and for those passengers who were visiting Jerusalem for the first time. We had previously done this tour but wanted to do it again as there is so much to observe and absorb in such an important site.
Our first stop was at a lookout from which we could see cemeteries, churches, housing and the Old City. In spite of the smog we had fantastic vistas.
