Today was a highlight.

We started off with a nice early morning 6am.. Again!

We headed off to a museum.. G and I drifted around looking at old scrolls and eventually got a little over the whole thing. So we went to the beautiful shop inside of the museum. There were tones of Arabic designs, gifts, books in Arab and Hebrew then we stumbled across the jewellery 🙂 well we stuck around looking at everything and I came out with a beautiful bracelet I absolutely adore. An Egyptian hieroglyph or “lotus bud” from the 14th century BCE..

I love it!

Mrs G bought a divine scarf and we got a few Egyptian coasters for the house and a groovy glow in the dark t shirt!

So we had a lovely morning the two of us in the shop!!

After our shopping, we headed to the oldest city in the world.  The first city was built 12000 years ago and many more were done on top of each other over the thousands of years..it was in Jericho. My goodness was it hot! We are right in the middle of the dessert now!

There were camels around and trenches all over showing the remains of the cities that were active thousands of years ago.

After exploring the oldest city in the world we heading to the Dead Sea! What an experience.. When the tour guide was saying you float, I was thinking, of course we’re going to float unless you’re going to drink tones of water and try drown yourself! We all float!

Well this was a complete different float!

As soon as I got into the water my arms and legs completely came up to the top, it was as if I was in space. It was mind blowing! So hard to explain how it felt.. Like I was a feather or something! I put the mud all over and let it soak for about 15 minutes, then drifted around the sea for a while.. It was so peaceful.. My skin feels incredible, like silk.. Although I still feel a little salty and have a yucky muddy smell! Already I’ve had two baths! It certainly was an experience though, well worth the after smell and saltiness. We came into the Dead Sea from Jordan! Traveling along the dessert roads, the smell was very strong from the sulpha. very much smelt like poop! All these horrible smells, Im completely putting this place off! haha, I can assure you, it is well worth it!

After seeing the Dead Sea we went another half hour in land to more desert. I have such a spectacular view of the desert mountains.. We’re staying at a place called Ein Gedi hotel. I can’t wait to wake up and have my breakfast with such a scenic view. I love the mornings here, the sun is always out and there are many birds that seem to be right at my balcony. Let’s hope they are here tomorrow! Today has defiantly been one of my highlights!

Here is a short clip from the oldest City in the world dating back 12,000  years.

This was certainly a highlight! People celebrating in the street of Jerusalem before we got on the bus to travel North.
