... Canadier, arbeitet in der Feinan Lodge, einer Hotelanlage im Dana Nature Reserve und versichert uns, dass wir diese Strasse nach Petra fahren können. Sie sei zwar unbefestigt und an einigen Stellen sehr eng und rechts und links gehts den Hang hinunter, aber mit unseren Mietwagen müssten wir es schaffen. Er bestätigt auch unsere Vermutung, dass wir vorher auf dem Dead Sea Highway waren. Wie wir dort hin gekommen waren, weiß ich bis heute nicht...<br><br>Erik fährt voraus. Wir ...

... br>Finally I get to my spot and pour water into my eyes. Immediately the pain went away and all was well again.<br>The rest of the day we just lounged and tanned and ate and drank. <br>Good times.<br>The ride back I was a little more awake and got to see the loveliness that is the Negev Desert.<br><br>There's so much unique beauty in Israel.....and it has nothing to do with religion or Jerusalem or history....there's lots of other cool stuff too!<br><br>

... bottom. The cones are surrounded by a library of over 2 million remembrances and empty shelves ready to contain as many more as can be told. There are some coins at the bottom of the reflecting pool, the effect created is one of stars in a void, so it looks like the photos go on forever.<br><br>And yet. And yet. This was not the most haunting moment of the day for me. There's another exhibit here. It marks all of the communities that were wiped out ...

... the same height as me. They looked like ancient stone wheels scattered around the place, although I don&#8217;t think they were rolling anywhere.<br><br>Our next stop was called Um Ar Rassas, and looked to be only another half an hour down the road. We continued on, following signs through the vast Jordanian landscape. We passed through Wadi Mujib (optimistically referred to as Jordan&#8217;s "Grand Canyon"). It was really beautiful, although not quite to ...

... up in the morning, sandstorm gone, it was really funny to look around and see all the people slowly getting out of their car, with some fitting four or five inside. Nobody had slept outside except for my one friend, and the area was strewn with damaged tents. From there, barely having slept, we were too tired to go hiking or anything, so we drove south to the house of the Israeli in Yated, 2 km from Gaza and a similar distance from Egypt. Neither his house nor his ...

... was not that great. We headed down hill towards the dead sea the highlight of the day of course and found out we had to pay 12 Dina for entry. I did not really fancy the idea of paying 12 so wanted to go the local beach instead for 7 we ended up going to the more touristy beach for 12 which was actually pretty good as it had a swimming pool and nicer beach. We headed into the sea and the sensation was quite weird ...

... in 1161. The most famous person here was Reynald de Chatillon and King Guy of Jerusalem. They lost their battle against Saladin who then beheaded Reynald. The castle is very big and had more parts added to it over the years. We were taken with all the arched ceilings and how they are made. There are three stables, many bedrooms, several large dining rooms, kitchens with a square pit where grapes were crushed and the juice flowed out into a ...

... lower part where it can be processed. We stopped briefly to look at a small mountain of salt along the shore of the Sea. One vertical pillar-like figure was pointed out as being (or more properly, representing) Lot's wife. This is the area where Sodom and Gomorrah used to be, and there is certainly plenty of salt about, why not this particular pillar? As we left the bus to take photos, we were struck by the extreme heat and humidity at the Dead Sea, the lowest ...

... in the bedouin-style bar at the hotel, where we lounged in a tent on pillows on the floor, people smoked nargila (hookah) and watched a belly-dancer. The next day was cloudy and many people opted not to go on a hike to the Peres River, but I decided to go and it was really worth it! It was a longer, more rigorous hike than the first day with great views and interesting things to see around every corner. I ...
