This is just a quick note to say that we have safely arrived in Israel. Today was another early morning (3:30am alarm) to catch the Bucharest city bus to the airport, and then our second (and last?) Wizz Air flight out to Tel Aviv, which was about a 2.5 hour flight. After landing passport control and customs went by very quickly, and we were suddenly on a bus to Jerusalem where we have been exploring casually on foot until checking into the Abraham Youth Hostel.
More details to come, but it is amazing to be here, and we have already managed to find our way into the old City, entering through the Jaffa Gate (see picture of Carol approaching the gate), and down to the Western Wall.
Comment test--thanks for updating blog!
