At the end of day 2, Sabron Rabian (that’s me !) has been on a tour of Jerusalem and Bethlehem today. It started off well when the Bien Harim tour bus turned up at 8am to collect me. I was driven down the Mount of Olives village where there was a riot the night before. The bus collected more people from hotels on the way and about six buses met at a meeting point, shuffled the guests and off we went on our own tours. An hour or so after I was picked up, my group started our tour 10 yards from my hotel !! Oh boy ! This is going to be a good day ! Our tour guide Yoav Malachi was brilliant, he remembered our nationalities rather than names. I was Spain and a bit of a problem for him.
I have to keep this short as I’m hot and sweaty. I have to be awake at 0430am tomorrow as I am off to Haifa and Acre. So a shower and recharge my camera will happen as soon as I set up this slideshow. There are over 30 photos, so you can press Like now you two !!
The Palestinian guide took us to an olive tree wood carving shop. Palestinians and Christians working together in harmony. I bought nothing, but they gave me a lemon drink and while we were sitting on the kerb in the street waiting for the bus, the tea boy came out and gave me a coffee. How kind !!
So far I have met many nationalities here and once you get to know them they are great people. As I said, more hugs and kisses are needed here in Israel and Palestine. All it needs is the will !!
Will someone put me to bed please !!
