Richard, Leanne and I then wandered off to do the Ramparts Walk around the old city walls. However, on our walk we indeed up on Mt Zion and discovered the Church of Dormition, which was the site of Mary's death. We also discovered the Upper Room which is the traditional site of the Last Supper.
We stopped for a rest and some lunch before heading to do what we originally set out to do - the Ramparts Walk, only to find that the section we needed to do to get home is closed on Fridays due to the Muslim day of prayer. Oh well - we'll save that up for another day.
When we returned we had a 2 hour lecture on the Spirituality of Islam which was very interesting. To hear from an expert in the field and scholar rather than the media was great.
