We head up to Jaffa Street and catch a bus, the station is at the end of the street. We go through security and up the escalator to the 3rd floor where the buses are. We get our tickets from a machine using the confirmation number I received over the phone yesterday, and the numbers of my passport, automatically charged to my credit card! Worked out great. I go back downstairs to the bookstore to see if they have a su do ku book, yes and it is a small thin one for only . Yikes. Len finds two books at the store upstairs for less.
