Free time to . . . walk, buy, relax, etc.

We had a fine lunch at an authentic Middle Eastern restaurant called Nafoura, just inside the Jaffa gate of the Old City. From there, some returned immediately to the hotel, some ventured down into the shuk (open air market) of the Old City. We bargained with the shop owners, sample sachlav (the thick, rose flavored beverage that is sold on the street), and saw and got jostled by every passerby in the vicinity.
