Continue along the Cardo - main street of Jerusalem during the Byzantine period. Climb Mt Zion to the Room of the Last Supper and 'King David's' tomb. Travel northwest to the shores of the Mediterranean to visit Caesarea Maritima, Herod the Great's masterpiece (time permitting). Drive northeast via Megiddo (Armageddon) to hotel in the Galillee area. Check into hotel for dinner and overnight.
