Subject: Post: Today is our last day in the Middle East, unfortunately. We took care of some practical stuff in the morning, like had my beard shaved and washed our clothes. I had to visit a barber, as Don somehow managed to kill my shaving machine.. :p<p>Then the rest of the day was spent walking around the old town of Jerusalem. As I mentioned yesterday, today and yesterday evening the Jewish were having a religious festival day, which meant all the important sights in here were closed. We got to visit the Western Wall and Church of the Holy Sepulchre though. The later is probably the most holy place of the christian religion, and was actually pretty nice to see. Of course it was crowded by tourist :)<p>Back in the hotel now, thinking if we should sleep for a while. Our flight departs from Tel Aviv at 05.15, and the security checks will probably take a few hours again so we have to leave Jerusalem around 01 am..<p>We will be flying to Riga, Latvia and spending the weekend in there, having a Couchsurfing party event. On Sunday evening we will fly back to Finland then..<p>Too bad we have to leave Jerusalem this quickly. I will definitely be back in here shortly, to see the city (and the country) a bit more. In addition to the other things mentioned earlier, the climate is also next to perfect. It is the hottest time of year here, and still the daytime temperature barely raises to 33-34C with reasonable humidity, being really comfortable. Latitude: Longitude: Security Code:
