Today we started the day by taking a bus and heading to Wadi Mujib. It is a nature reserve that is next to Dead Sea. There are multiple different routes that can be explored, but some of them are really difficult and dangerous, people even has been dying on the routes. And they take a long time to explore, something between 6 to 8 hours. So we just took a easier and shorter route, river route that took us through a amazing canyon, walking along the river.
It was just amazing, walking through the river and just watch upwards and see how much water has been digged its way with all these years. I would say that the canyon was something around couple hundred meters deep, it was really amazing. Water was so warm and still colder than the air outside the canyon, so it was nice just to sit in the water and enjoy.
But then the fun part began, it wasn’t just a nice small river that we were walking, there was a lots of rapids and small waterfalls and we had to make our way all way up to the big waterfall. It was so great and terrifying at the same time. Trying to climb up slippery rocks while water pressure is doing everything to push you back down… Well, that’s an adventure, that’s sure
And in the end there was a great waterfall and I was able to walk behind the waterfall, and just take amazing shower up there, can say that when water falls rapidly from 50m, it almost hurts. And the sound is so laud that I think my ears are still hearing only the sound of the waterfall.
The way back was even more terrifying, you think that it is easier to came along the river, but that meant that in some parts when there was enough terrifying to climb up, now it was just jumping down, or sliding, or doing both at the same time. But it was so great, even though that I was terrified by my afraid of highs, but I made it.
After Wadi Mujib we went to Dead Sea. Well, it is a sea, and it was a beach, so nothing special there. Expect floating in the Dead Sea is just something. I was walking in the sea, and my legs weren’t even near the bottom
Too bad that I had some bruises and cuts in me, so I wasn’t able to spend so much time in the sea, because even the small cut just hurt really much because the really salty water.
Nice day after all, too bad that I wasn’t able to take camera with me to the river adventure, but my camera just wouldn’t survived from all the water. I was so wet after the trip, and my shoes are still completely wet. Well, at least I don’t need to wash them, I think that all the sand from desert trip is gone now
