With several days worth of history filling our brains, we had a chance to unwind with a two-hour stop at Ein Gedi Spa.
Floating on the Dead Sea is awesome. We walked out into the water (wear shoes because the lake bed is salt and rock and very hard on the feet). When we got about knee deep, we just kind of sat down and the rest kind of happens automatically. Your feet just kick up to the top of the water, and you just float.
It took a few minutes to feel comfortable and relax. For a while, I could feel that my stomach muscles were really tight, but after a bit I got used to it and relaxed and floated.
After about 30 minutes in the lake - the lowest spot on earth - it was on to the next step.
The mud there supposedly contains lots of minerals that are good for the skin, so it was time to cake ourselves completely in mud. As it dries, the minerals work their way into the skin.
We washed off in a hot sulphur shower from the nearby springs and then made the hour drive back to Jerusalem.
