After sleeping in duer feasting the evening before ;-) i drop all sports clothing for pickup by a laundry service and walk out in direction of the Old City.
After wlaking through some park and backyard streets i arrive, and further on through old narrow streets and the all-around bazaar / souk.
Spending the full afternoon walking around, i manage to see a lot of backyards, but also the „big“ tourist places, like the wailing wall.During this i do also a small bit of shopping, like getting Tshirt with a Krav Maga logo of the IDF, and a new batch of picture postcards. Of course i’m afterwards looking for some other memorabilia and end of getting ripped off during haggling over the price of one gift for my mother ( at least i do feel so, therefore it wont be false with high likelihood..) But then again i managed to get him down to about a third of the initial price. Small victories count too.
Afterwards i’m experiencing the main post office for about an hour, because noone wanted or could sell me 15 stamps for postcards… boring, but pleasant due the air conditioning :) Started sewing my new patch to the velcro piece there during waiting. After quite a walkful day i head back to the hotel, finish sewing while drinking tea & write cards. And my laundry comes alreay back!
Finally i fall into bed without eating since breakfast.. hrrm.
The best invested 80 Schekel! ;-)
