Message from the Middle East

Hello blog world from the Dead Sea.

The Dead Sea is spectacular.  Our room, the resort & medical facilites are all VERY comfortable. Darcy has her first appt with the Prof this afternoon.  We arrived yesterday after an excruciating flight from Sydney via Dubai.  
The girls had a swim (bobbed around) in the Dead Sea this morning. Now they are playing on the waterslide (in one of the 4 pools!!).  There are many other vitiligo families here from all over the world so they have lots of friends.  The weather is bitingly hot in the sun, but cool in the shade and in our room.  It is very glarey because the mountains that rise up around us (actually not mountains as they are at sea level - we are actaully in an enormous escarpment) are all gray / brown and sandy.  Not much greenery but the view and sorrounds are pretty impressive.

The bad news is that the Hotel WiFi is dismal so the thought of uploading anything to the blog might be impossible. Somehow I will get the information out there to the masses, even if it is upon my return.  Maybe we could do a wine, cheese and slide night when I get back.  Ha! I am currently in business centre of the hotel where the reception is much better (stronger signal).  I will try and come here most days to get some details down.

Love to all, and I will try to keep the blog updated.

  1. Hi again - new to Blog world so had not read the above post before I sent my first message. The Dead Sea looks like an amazing place - I once had a facial which used products derived from there?? Are you going to use the mud too and how long can you stay in for - is it a bit like the hot springs in Canada - enough is enough? Google images provides some great pics - anyway best wishes again and I hope this come through xxxFinter
