Back to Amman was much quicker on the return – Israel checks you a lot less than on entry, but does make you pay an arm and leg to leave.

Drove onto Mt Nebo, where Moses was showed the Promised Land.  Too misty for good views

We are now staying for 2 nights at the Dead Sea. Palm Springs has come to the Dead Sea !  Loads of USA style resort hotels – we are treating ourselves to the Marriott – expensive but it’s a trip we are unlikely to make again. Both feeling the need to be still, so we have extended our stay here to two nights, cut out Aqaba and shifted hotels around.  Did the usual things – sitting upright in the sea, sleeping and enjoying the sun.
