Israel, Palestinian Territories, Jordan, Egypt
15.03.2007 - 18.03.2007
Entered Israel from Amman via Allenby Bridge (US$ 90 for quick VIP-transfer) and stayed at American Colony Hotel in Jerusalem. Fantastic old town. Got straight into riots with tear gas. Visited the Palestinian Territories in Bethlehem. Very good Interconti hotel there. Also in Jericho.
