The night before we noticed a sign above a window advertising tickets to walk the wall. The times listed showed from 8 am to 6 pm. Since it was only 5, we decided to give it a shot. Diane said she would come along with us. We paid for tickets at the window, and asked if we could walk longer than 5 pm. The man selling the tickets said we could walk a long as we liked. We headed up some stairs just to the right of the Jaffa Gate, put our tokens in the slot, and walked out onto the top of the Old City wall. Just as we get on top of the New Gate, some guys below us start yelling at us "What are you doing up there"? Like it's not obvious, we're walking... "You can't be up there, get down." But we were told we could walk as long as we wanted..."No! You must get off the top of the wall at once." So much for walking all the way around the Old City before supper. Anyway, the brief time we were allowed on the wall was spectacular. So we went shopping in the Christian Quarter - service with a smile.
