Well I've finally arrived in Jerusalem! The place where I am staying is an Anglican centre - St Georges College. A beautiful place not far from the old city (photos later). I'm still trying to get my head around the place as every building is a sandstone colour and all jumbled up. Even driving through the West Bank isn't obvious until you see the odd wall snaking through the countryside and there are clusters of houses on the top of hills and have trees (Israeli homes) and not so well maintained houses at the bottom (Palestinian) whose access to water is more limited due to Israeli restrictions.
On an introductory tour we had a great view of the old city and then wandered through it exiting at the Damascus gate. Next stop Bethlehem!
