On Saturday I took a trip down to the famed city of Jericho, where the walls have well and truly fallen down. It is a small place with not much to do but spectacular scenery and a giant hotel casino sticking up out of the desert (which happens to have a nice swimming pool and hence Jericho is a popular weekend away from Jerusalem). The main attraction in Jericho is the Mount of Temptation. You can take a cable car up to see the view from the top and visit a little old monastery built into the side of the mountain- in the picture.
