Israel: Jerusalem

A question about this place:
When we were in Jerusalem last, we tried to go onto the temple mount, but armed guards turned us back. I have since been told that it is possible to go onto the temple mount, but not into the mosque. Is this true? If so, how do you get there?

Actually, we did get turned back by soldiers who told us we were not allowed. But it also might have been that we were not there between 9 and 11 a.m. Where is the kotel?

actually if u are trying to enter the wrong gate or if u wana go up with kippa to the tempel mount, the soldiers wouldnt let u in. so yea actually u have to enter it from 9 till 11 from the right side of the kotel (= western wall)

that makes sense. We were somewhere in the Moslem quarter so I have a feeling we were not in the right place AT ALL and I know we went sometime in the afternoon. I will keep this in mind—thank you very much.
