New approach for Palestine blogging

I've come with a digital camera, so I'll be less text dependant for telling some of the tales. The Dead Sea image was take at 6.20am on Friday 18 March, as the sun rise hitting about 4,000 feet of hill sat 15 miles away.

The border crossing took me 4 hours, or 6 hours door to door from the Dead Sea to St George's. Those on the Palestinian bus, typically took 8-10 hours to make their door to door journeys, including four hours of waiting and waiting to be searched and searched again, and then the wait for transport three times over at least, and for some another night of waiting for a checkpoint to open again.

There's no reasons for it to be so slow, just excuses.
