Hey Again,

Well trying to keep this up to date as we go along, we went by bus to Jerusalem in Israel, departed Thursday night, returning super late on Friday night. About 3 hours after my last update, i got really sick too - so we were both out for most of Thursday, good thing we left later in the day for Jerusalem. The main reason we wanted to go to Israel was to float like boats in the dead sea, so we werent really into the whole Jerusalem thing!

We arrived there at 6am, and our english tour guide was late so we had to follow a Russian group for the first 40 minutes trying to understand what they were saying. We visited the famous sights in the City - the wailing wall where all the Jews pray - they sit facing they wall, some of them banging there heads into it. Then went to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, where Jesus's tomb is. Then around the city for a look, shopping, and then we went to Bethlehem, to the Church of Nativity, which was built over the place where Jesus was born. Then it was on to the dead sea - which was awesome!! The water was super hot, felt like a spa, and really salty - it burnt the mouth if you got water in it, and was easy to float around without effort! The sea was really pale green, and wasnt overcrowded like other places we had been too! And free to swim there - so always a bonus!

Will put up some photos when we are back in London,

Take Care
