Sixth Day we actually had the opportunity to sleep in until 7 am.  Our plan was to head on down to the Dead Sea and hit a couple sites on the way, then have a relaxing evening on the Dead Sea.

So of course we got some good travel pictures:

So first stop was the Qumran Caves.  This was the place where the Dead Sea Scrolls were found.

Then got some pictures of the Dead Sea and you can see where the water level has been reduced:

Then onto the Valley of Elah, Cave of Abdullam and the Oasis of Ein Gedi.  Both of which were beautiful, to actually see the waterfall in the desert due to a spring was pretty cool, unfortunately we encountered battery issues again.  However we got them sorted out again and got some pictures of:

and then on to an old synagogue:

some more travelling:

And arrive at our hotel – Hotel Isrotel:
