We walked to the subterranean Crusader fort-, which was mostly the foundation of the original Crusader fortress. Even the acoustiguide didn’t help much to make a story of the site.
So, it was on to Nazareth-, which must translate to “traffic jam” in Hebrew. The city was completely jammed with traffic and by the time we made it to the Church of the Annunciation (where the angel Gabriel appeared to Mary to tell her she was pregnant with the son of God), it was closed.

On to Caesaerea, an old Roman city which has been almost completely pillaged. The Roman amphitheater has been converted to a concert hall for rock concerts and the rest of the site was mostly rocks.
Back to Jerusalem for a quiet evening. (Even the ATM’s don’t work on the Sabbath!).
