New day and a new country. We bade farewell to our guide, Samir and hello to Alon. It took the entire day to make that happen. We saw Petra from the north side, traveled through the mountains, and over to the Dead Sea. The brand new road was a single lane with multitude of switch backs. One of our travelers just about jumped out of her seat. Did not help she was on the drop off side of the bus. :) We stopped at the shore of the Dead Sea. Beautiful but a bit briny. Just try not to float... woofed down our lunch on the bus. Not able to take food across the boarder. That was the most unique box lunch ever. A small turkey sandwich, an apple, a whole cucumber, a whole tomato, an apple and yogurt. Complimented with a napkin but no service ware. Doubtful if anyone figured out how to eat the tomato. The cucumber served dual purpose as a spoon for the yogurt. Now, that's a first! Boarder crossing took 3 hours and 2 jigsaw puzzles to complete the transfer from Jordan to Israel. Not sure what was the problem. We were elated to see and meet our new guide. One of the best parts, there is wine and beer here!! Cheers!! Tomorrow, city tour of Tel Aviv. Check back!
