Jerusalem after lunch DAY 3

After lunch in an Arab restaurant our group splits, some go shopping and the rest of us set off for the City of David to go through Hezekiah's Tunnel. Got my beach shoes and shorts in my bag for walking through the water.

Due to the celebrations the coach could not pick us up where planned as the road was blocked so we had a long walk through the Kidron Valley in the dark with a lot of potholes, but Atta was so kind and drove up a steep narrow road to save us some of the walk.
