While out drinking with a good friend of mine, who was living in Israel at the time, we planned a great road trip going from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem and then camping in the desert around Mitzpe Ramon.
Tel Aviv was great, nice and relaxing for a day or so at the beach. On the way over to Jerusalem my friend took me to a place famous for its humous. Jerusalem was an entirely different experience to Tel Aviv with the busy old town, fought over for millennia, split into 4 quarters allowing different religions to live side by side.
The night out camping in Mitzpe Ramon gave us a chance to sit around the fire and reflect on our trip, while trying to photograph the stars!

On my return journey through Jerusalem I discovered a hotel with a church spire with a viewing point -
giving wonderful views across the roof tops of the old town of Jerusalem. |
