Day a bit 'busy! I wake up early (around 5 am) and walk through the Ein Gedi Kibbutz admiring the beautiful Botanical Gardens which are hosted succulents that come from all over the planet. The show is fascinating, there is only desert around, but where I am, there are lush plants with many birds that live there. Taking the machine after a few miles of desert canyon to reach the Ein Gedi, another fantastic place, where alternate waterfalls and natural pools, always surrounded by mountains of sand and rocks.
The second step now is the mythical Masada, beautiful fortress overlooking the Dead Sea. Despite the cable car I decide to walk up and down, the heat is not excessive and the walk is nice. The remains of the city are beautiful, and there is also a model that explains how the collection of rainwater. I inevitably the question arises whether the suicide of all the inhabitants of Masada, to escape the siege of the Roman troops, it has been decided by all or a senseless slaughter was carried out by the besieged themselves, for fear of who knows what consequences.
leaving this beautiful city, finally reaches the Dead Sea. I dreamed of this moment in the design stage of the journey and the wait was not disappointed! Slip into this water salty that prevents you from sinking is one of the most relaxing things I've tried. The place is typical tourist, with all the advantages of restaurants, bars, shops, but there is confusion and (unfortunately) a few hours spent here I regenerate. And thank goodness! In fact, I now expect 250 km of desert in the dark (by the way, the starry sky of the desert is breathtaking) to reach Las Vegas, that is, Eilat, where I now strangely Americana Hotel (the best so far) have dinner and go to sleep after a magnificent shower.
