On the afternoon of our fifth day in Jerusalem, the last day of the tour, most of my fellow travelers had already departed for the airport for their return flights home. I had booked my own airfare with El Al Israel Airlines, which does not fly on Saturday due to the Jewish Sabbath. My flight was scheduled to leave at 12:15am on Sunday, allowing me an extra day to explore Jerusalem on my own. I grabbed my backpack and walked to Bloomfield Park, just down the street from my hotel, stopping to visit the Montefiore Windmill (1857) and the observation point overlooking the hilly residential area of Mishkenot Sha'ananim, the first Jewish settlement built outside the city's Old Walls (1859-60). I continued along King David Street (stepping inside the swanky 5-star King David Hotel for a peek) and walked through the Mamilla Mall to the Jaffa Gate entrance of the Old City next to the Tower of David citadel. I purchased a ticket near the Jaffa Gate to walk the wall ramparts of Jerusalem's Old City. One can walk half of the ramparts, from the Jaffa Gate (in the Christian Quarter) to the Lion Gate (near the Temple Mount in the Muslim Quarter). Walking the wall ramparts offers nice panoramic views of the hills surrounding the city walls, and glimpses of the personal lives of the people who actually live within the Old City. I was also able to get a closer view of the Dome on the Rock atop the Temple Mount. I had to descend the ramparts when I reached the Lion Gate and ended up getting lost in the Muslim Quarter. An Israeli soldier stopped me in an area where only Muslims were allowed and gave me instructions on how to return to the Jaffa Gate. I walked through the Muslim Quarter and eventually found the Cardo and made it out of the Old City, heading back to my hotel. Totally exhausted from my 7-mile impromptu walk, I relaxed in my room until it was time to go to the airport.
