2016-03-06 & 07: Last views of the Scorpion Trail, sunset on the Dead Sea & Rose rentals

Pix today from our trip up the Scorpion trail, the sunset that day & of our luxurious accommodations that Arie found at the last minute on the Dead Sea. The room they originally sold him was nowhere near what the description was on the website, and fortunately the apartment right across the way was available, much larger (i.e. beds in separate rooms), and they agreed to let us use it for the same price.

It was the strangest experience finding the place. First of all, since finding the place involved vertical directions (i.e. hills), the GPS freaked out, and then, when we finally located the area, there were so many various rental agencies (pictures to follow), we were wandering around when a man on a cell phone came up & asked if we were looking for the Rose rentals (I think it was) so clearly they were used to folks not knowing where to find them.
