22 September 1879 — Jerusalem | |
Monday. 22nd September [1879]. We were up at 3 A.M. & en route very soon after paid Mr Howards exhorbitant bill and were once more jolting towards Jaffa. It was fine & the sunrise very pretty—but I was tired with the dreadful road & uneasy carriage & glad to get to the end of the journey. We reached Jaffa by 8 and by 9 we had started off for Caipha. I went straight to bed being quite knocked up. I got up abt 11 with a bad headache & when we reached Carmel I could not land with the others. I tried to sketch but had to give it up. The others were received with the usual honors by the Authorities & went to the Convent on the top of the Hill & also visited the German colony of Hoffmannites established there. I was so ill that I could only lie in my cane chair & dose. | |
