Day 28: Jericho

Today was an excursion to the oldest and lowest city on earth - Jericho.

On route we stopped at the Greek Orthodox monestrary perched on the side of a hill at Wadi Qelt.

In Jericho we took a cable car ride up the mountain to a Russian Orthodox monastery which gave amazing views of the region.

We then visited the supposed sycamore tree which Zacchaeus climbed. Lk 19:1-17.

Today was a sad day as we learnt that our beloved border collie Jack was killed on the southern outlet after escaping from our yard during a storm. Tough being so far from loved ones today.
