A hotel room without a Bible

Can you believe it?  For the first time in my life, I am in a hotel room without a Holy Bible... and I need one.  Tomorrow (Friday) we are off to Madaba for the day, just the three of us on another leg of the Middle Eastern adventure.  This is where John the Baptist was killed and also not too far from Mt Nebo.  Also Moses got up to some stuff around here too.  Major Jesus country- I wish I could recall more from Sunday School in 1983.
Normal treatment today although quite overcast this morning.  The solarium was down  4 girls, with only 4 remaining.  A calm quiet morning with even the mums relaxing in the solarium... Sun baking... Although - do not gasp in horror.  Firstly, it was between 8am and 930am and it was overcast and thirdly we are in spring here, approaching summer in June.
It was lovely.  Hopefully a sign that finally, in these last days, we (read: I) can relax and enjoy this beautiful spot.

Afternoon treatment smooth as.  Dead Sea 4 pm - the kids have taken to wearing their bathing caps so that they can lie back in the water.  The DS does dry out the hair beyond description.  The water was again quite choppy.  Shower, cream then 20 mins in full sun then the rest of the time in the shade.  Last kids club today, so I did a run, although hardest runs I have ever done not only because of buffet damage but also 40 degree heat. I drink 1.5L in 30 mins.  Totally soaked.

I'll do a video of the buffet to explain visually how I am fighting a losing battle.  
Can't believe it but I am starting to think about getting outta here.
It's the final countdown.... Da na na naaaa, da na nah-nah naaaa.....
