ice cream, camel and temptation

May 8, 2012

Today we left Tiberius and the Galilee region heading back to Jerusalem via Jericho and Bethany.

The day began as a good day would – with an ice-cream stop

and a cable-car journey up the Mount of Temptation

On the cable-car journey we passed the sixth century Greek Orthodox monastery
