Wednesday - day 2 of the Negev

ON Wednesday we went to Ein Avdat, Ein avdat is on the wasy to eilat, it is in the middle of the dessert and it is quite extrodinary. This is because although it is in the middle of the dessert there is a stream with a beautiful waterfall at the end. All the way along the stream it was really cool because there was the most amazing reflection of the rocks and sky above.
We then walked up the side of the rocks, up a very narrow staircase carved out of the rock. There was then a steep walk up the mountain followed by a ladder. It was very fun going up and there was the most fantastic view from the top.

We them carried on the journey to Eilat where we stoped off at ben gurion's house. We had a tour and it was very interesting to find out about him and his views about the negev. Finally we stopped off at a huge crater but it was made by water and it was very cool.

We got back on the couche for the last time that day and headed for our hostel in Eilat.
