So sorry for all the spelling mistakes that I am going to make or i have made. I dont re-read whatever i typed before publishing the post. okay...i will tell you about my first and second day in Israel.From the Taba Border, we drove straight to the Dead Sea region. By the time we got there, it was about 3.30 or 4pm. We quickly dashed to our rooms to get
changed into our swimsuits. On the way down. we met Pastor Raymond, and so my brother, Richard and I run towards the beach, leaving the adults to chase after us. HAHA. We were running partly because the sun was already setting, and we didnt want to be out in the dark. The sea water was icy cold. My brother was the first one down. It was really cool, as we were all floating once we lie on the water. The water was terribly salty and oily too. After that, we proceeded to the swimmming pool located in the hotel. We met some of our other tour members. We enjoyed ourselves in the warm water before the security person chased us all out. He said that the water is not good for children under 18 because of the minerals. I don't get the logic in that though. As our parents all went to enjoy the SPA programme, we kids all flocked to pastor's room to played there. HAHA. The younger ones were playing with PSP while Beatrice and I joined 2 others in playing with card games. After that, we played cards every evening if time permited.
The next day we went to Masada, the Qumran caves-this is where the dead sea scrolls were discovered. (Isaiah's completed books). Yups...nothing much for that day.
