Masada

That night wasn't the comfiest night ever because I found myself sleeping on a hill on a huge rock. But it was still fun. We were them woken up at 4' o'clock so that we could get to the top of Massada for sunrise. IT was much harder than I remember it but i was 3rd up which is good considering I only lost to David and Joel. At the top we had 20 mins to spare so we were chering on the rest of our group. At sunrise I was about to take a photo and my battery ran out so i was quickly changing the batteries and it was close. But I got some great photos. I then got the best photo of a lifetime. It was of sunrise with the Israeli flag flying. Beautiful! We then had a tour around the top. And at the end we went to the far side of Massada, which we didn't go to and there we shouted um, yisroel, chai, and because of the positions of the mountains you could hear the echo for another 10 - 15 secs, it was amazing. Finally we wanted to walk back down but we weren't allowed because of time. But the view in the cable car was till good. At the bottom we had lunch and then went of to the Dead Sea...
