My plan for today was to take myself back to Jerusalem and do some further exploring on my own. Yesterday tired me out, so I indulged in a sleep-in this morning. By the time I had breakfast etc. it was getting on to mid-morning. I took the shuttle from the ship in to Ashdod city, to the Sun City Mall near where the bus and rail stations are. Not at all impressive. I had been advised on ship not to take
the public bus to Jerusalem, as it is over 2 hours journey, and stops in the middle of the New City -- meaning that one must use taxi or local bus to get to where one wishes. To go by taxi would be a prohibitive cost unless sharing with 3 other people. So I abandoned that plan, and thought about taking train to Tel Aviv and looking around there for a while. But when I saw the timetable, I lost enthusiasm and decided to go back to the ship and just have a lazy day.
Which is what I have done. A nap, reading, some laps of the exercise track before tea tonight. The buffet theme tonight was Spanish - and very tasty. We sail at 10pm for Haifa. Tomorrow I am booked on a day long tour of Galilee.
A couple of local photos is all I have today - and they are
here.
