Bob at/in the dead sea
Two days ago we were still in Jerusalem. Visited the western (wailing wall) again to see the tunnels under the wall. The part you can see is only about ten percent of the wall. The wall is a retaining wall and not a wall of the temple. The golden dome on the Temple Mount is a moslem mosque and jews are not permitted there. The Mount is a flat area …
Dead Sea
We are at the Dead Sea now for 3 days. It is very desolate but beautiful. The Dead Sea (DS) has no life in it at all, 33% salinity so you cannot drown or even sink (Bob tried and kept "bobbing up" - yuck, yuck).

... religious historian's dream-come-true destination. I decided to sit this one out, since I'm a non-believer and the previous sites were already underwhelming enough. From what I was told, Jesus was baptised at this spot, and paying GBP10 to visit this site just did not interest me. Instead, I spent an hour and a half chatting to my fellow agnostic companion while trying not to die of starvation in the meantime. Be warned, there are virtually no budget ...
