Route: Nachal Rom to Nachal Yizrach to Nachal Zohar
Nachal Rom went up
through a beautiful wadi.
On the way, we saw capers, acacia trees some
climbing on rocks.
The top of Nachal Rom was somewhat flat with great views.
The guide showed us flint, and made sparks with a piece of iron.
He also showed us
Shoshanat Yericho dried and curled up in a ball. He said that just by adding
water it would uncurl. Daniel picked one and added water to it. He showed it to
everyone over shabat. It had uncurled and stretched out.
We saw trees called
Shaizaf, which have edible fruits.
We stopped for lunch at the top of Nachal
Yizrach and the guide made sage tea and passed it around.
He showed us
travertine rock coating the limestone
At the end, went to the salt deposits
with "Lot's wife". We went through a cave with rock salt formations in all
directions, including vertical. Then went to an incredible sink hole with an opening at the top, around 50 meters. Vertical layers of salt.
Shabat:
went to beach and Ein Gedi.
Ibex wandered around the hostel, some liked
Ephraim's car and jumped on it.
