Bobbing in the Dead Sea

Early in the morning as usual I was up to take the only bus to Amman. Had my boring included inthe price breakfast and got into the bus that leaves everyday from the very hostel I was staying. In the back of the mini bus I sat next to this aussie girl and a big group who seemed to be travelling together. Laura was her name and she was actually by herself by she ended up hooking up with that group which also had been formed of different people travelling together.
When we reached Amman we all decided to go to the same hotel. Laura had plans to go to the dead sea in the same days, and since the only reasons I was in Amman was to go the Dead Sea I decided to join her. In the end we where four, Me, Laura, Fernando ( a Brazilian guy who was part of the group and Hama (an aussie chick who by coincidence was staying in the same hostel and had been on a tour in Egypt with Laura..
After lunch we negotiated I cab to take us to the Dead Sea and back again. 30 JD which in roughly 30 euro, which again was not so bad considering the Dead Sea was more than an hour away from Ammam.
The taxi driver dropped us in a private resort where we could have access to the beach and all its facilities for only “12 JD”, but the place was really nice with a massive swimming pool. Lot of people say that the Dead Sea Water and the mud found deep in the ocean can make wonders with your skin even though the water in made by 70% of pure salt.
Floating in the water like a piece of cork was really couple I had the feeling I was in space, gravity zero. We took some of the cliché pictures of us reading a book while floating and covered our bodies in mud, we were told to be 10 minutes in the sun with the mud so it could do any good. 10 very long minutes I might add. All that salt was making my skin burn like hell but later my skin was softer than a baby’s bottom. I strongly recommend!
In the evening we all had dinner together right before I crumbled in my tent in the rooftop (again).
