55 Kms Alpha to Jerico

Went we go to Jericho .we set up camp at the Show-ground Caravan Park.

We went into town and checked out these rock sculptures that tell the story of the real Jericho (The Crystal Trumpeters).

In 1988 the 'Crystal Trumpeters' were constructed in memory of the Biblical story where the Israelites marched around the walls of Jericho for six days and blew their trumpets on the seventh day and watched as the city walls collapsed.

The crystals symbolise various moments in the Old Testament such as the slavery in Egypt, the parting of the Red Sea, the receiving of the Ten Commandments, the crossing of the River Jordan and the arrival in the Promised Land.

As always we checked out the local pub as well.
