Vincent Poon :: Mt. Olives (1-sep)
 
Mount Olive is really famous for the place where Jesus was betrayed and arrested after the Last Supper, and also the place where he ascended into Heaven 40 days after resurrection.
 
Unless you are still young and fit and energetic, otherwise plan yourself properly if you want to tread the footsteps of Jesus in this mountain. Trust me.
 
Or unless you have a car........

Half an hour later, it seems I was a bit lost already?!
Having walked all the way down now I thought this was the road up that led to the Church of Mary Magdalene
Found it finally!!... OH what?  It was closed on Mondays! Damn....
No choice but to check out the next one - Church of Dominus Flevit

Closed again for lunch! Lonely Planet did not say they have siesta!!!
The scenery would be nice if I didn't have to walk up and down...
Finally found something that was not closed. Tomb of the Prophets.  Haggai, Zechariah and Malachi were buried here at around 500 BC
Found a scenic spot with an excellent view of the old city of Jerusalem. The building with the golden dome was the famous Dome of the Rock

and also a good view of the Church of Mary Magdalene.
and the tear-shaped Church of  Dominus Flevit
The sign showed the areas of interests in Jerusalem. I guessed you would need a pair of binoculars for that... right in front was the Jewish cemetery in the valley of Kidron (Jehoshaphat), where they believed the Last Judgement will take place, well, on the Judgement Day.
Got to take a picture with this view!
