Dead Sea/ Masada

Floating in the Dead Sea was an interesting experience. The water felt very thick, I would even say oily. After an early morning float we made our way to Masada (after I ran up and down the road for an hour trying to find a bank machine as we had only .40 NIS -about 10 cents CDN- local currency remaining). Once in Masada we made our way up the Snake Path to the top of the plateau to check out what was left of the once mighty fortress. We then made our way down via the Roman ramp (a ramp the Romans made in order to gain access to the city) followed by a fun hike around the perimeter of the plateau fortress that offered some great views. Some of the stories in history of these places are incredible.
