Some Live to eat, some eat to Live and then there is me I gym to eat…….




So after my first gym session everyone else was fed and I had to go without, the only one in the family to put out this morning and I had to go without.

We were all packed and ready to rock, when I let slip that we were going to the Dead Sea bang goes that surprise then, if My Beloved hadn’t decided to argue with me about the fact that HE WILL need shoes to go into the Dead Sea I would not have let slip, ops…

It took us two hours to drive through the mountains and down into En Boqeq, the scenery at times was stark, and at others amazing, the snake like road that took us down to our destination had a little treat on every bend, we passed beautiful views over towards Jordan, Camels on the hills and cyclists going up the way, we even had to slow down at one stage as a gang load of trial bikes were crossing the road as we were using it, obviously we had missed that sign.

We eventually dropped down into En Boqeq and found our hotel, and a car parking space, but not before My Beloved had tried to run a Russian over who thought she could hold a parking space for a car that wasn’t materializing, so he just gently nudged her out of the way.  We checked in but our room wasn’t ready as we were early so we took ourselves off to the pool and a seat in the sun, once we did get checked in we changed and headed for the beach and the Dead Sea, lucky for me I forgot my bikini so couldn’t go it, I had to content myself with sitting in the sunshine with the camera doing a great David Bailey impression.

Supper was taken at the hotel after a short walk along the front, being winter here means that the place is very very quiet, but we actually think that once you have done the whole floating in the water thing there isn’t a lot else to do in the winter.
