Wednesday, 10/12, was Jerusalem day one of two. The ship docked in the port of Ashdod. We took a shuttle to the city.
As we didn’t have any planned shore excursion for the morning, we hired a taxi and went to the Dead Sea. The driver took us the back way which was spectacular. The eroded rock dirt formations were beautiful. We felt the water which is so smooth. It is 30% salt as well as potassium, magnesium, calcium and other minerals. It is the lowest place on Earth at 400 meters below sea level.
In the evening we were on an excursion that took us to Tel Aviv. It is a non secular city. It is fun and lively. We had a wonderful dinner.
