things to take on your walk

You won't need a flak jacket as you're perfectly safe as a privileged Westerner. But you'd be wise to take effective ear plugs just in case anyone in your party snores (men and women sleep separately in family homes). Walking long distances on little sleep can be a bit rough as we know to our cost.

Loo paper and a towel come in handy as well, while for toilet privacy you might find it preferable to go al fresco!! Water for showers is in limited supply (the settlers have swimming pools...). These are just a few practical tips. The whole walking experience is unforgettable and the people are dignified, helpful, friendly, generous and honest. Do visit them, you'll receive a welcome of a lifetime!

  1. I was grateful we'd packed Loperamide after 'the best shwarma in Bethlehem' turned out to be that creature of British folklore, a 'dodgy kebab'...
