    Dead Sea

    December 21, 2018 in Jordan ⋅ ⛅ 19 °C

    We have arrived at our hotel for the next two nights. It’s called the Dead Sea Holiday Inn and it’s 5 Star. We went and did what everyone does in this part mudded up and floated in the Dead Sea. It was an amazing feeling because you couldn’t sink. The Dead Sea is 33% salt which is 10 times saltier then all of the oceans.Read more

    The Baptism site on the Jordan Side

    December 23, 2018 in Jordan ⋅ ☀️ 20 °C

    Today our first stop on the way to Amman was the real baptism site of Jesus. This site has had visits by all three of the recent popes and they have declared that it the true site of Jesus’ baptism. It was special to come here because I was lucky enough to be baptised on the Israeli side so being able to relive that here was fantastic. On this site there is 5 churches all of a different faith.Read more

    Mount Nebo

    December 23, 2018 in Jordan ⋅ ⛅ 14 °C

    Our second stop on the way to Amman was Mount Nebo. This is where Moses stood and viewed the promise land where his people would go and live. He was not allowed to go though because he had disobeyed what god told him to do so his punishment was not being able to go to the promise land. It is believed he was buried on Mount Nebo but then aren’t sure where. The church is owned by the Fransican Order and has been revamped to show off the beautiful mosaics.Read more

    Tel Aviv

    December 25, 2018 in Israel ⋅ ☀️ 20 °C

    Christmas Day was a little different this year. We spent it in Tel Aviv who don’t recognise Christmas as a holiday so it was just a normal work day for them. The Tel Aviv beach was absolutely beautiful. People were everywhere using the beach to throw frisbees, play some weird squash like game and walking their dogs. We even got our feet wet in the Mediterranean Sea. It is a cool place that feels a lot like the Gold Coast.Read more
