I changed planes in Moscow and landed in Tel Aviv. I began by walking Jaffa's old town and Acre, then went on to Capernaum on the shore of the Sea of Galilee and to Yardenit on the Jordan River.

Heading south down the Jordan Valley, I passed the Dead Sea, Masada and Beersheba and reached Jerusalem. In the Old City I visited the Dome of the Rock and the Western Wall, and in Bethlehem the Church of the Nativity. On the way home I changed planes again at Moscow's Sheremetyevo Airport. When I stepped outside the airport for a while during the layover, everything was covered in snow. After that I changed planes once more in Shanghai.
