Masada,& Ein Gedi- spring break part 2

Monday night Elana and I arrive in Ein Gedi kibbutz. We know that there is a guest house and so we walked all the way through the kibbutz and eventually we find it. We go to the reception and ask if we could get a taxi and the guy there orders a taxi for us which cost us 150 sheks since its was so late. We arrive at the Masada hostel and we encounter the guard. We tell him our names and he looks to see which room we were given, he can't find it. Elana tells him that we just need a room we for sure booked this hostel and we're tired. So he gives us a key to a room, but he doesn't know if the room is clean or not. We were at the point it didn't matter. So we go to our room and it is trashed, but we're to tired to care at 12:30 am. We went to sleep and at 4:30 am we woke up and went to hike the snake path to Masada. It was awesome, we saw the sun rise and everything. We are at Masada walking around, enjoying the beautiful history and all there is to offer. 2 hours after we got up we got on the cable car. We went back to the hostel, packed up and went to talk to the front desk about checking out and about the room. We complain and those complaints got us to pay less then half for the room which was great. After Masada we left for Ein Gedi, we checked into the youth hostel and went to the dead sea. I loved it, I floated in the dead sea for the first time. We came back to the hostel watched a couple italian movies on t.v. and then went to sleep and woke up the next day at 5:30 am to catch a bus at 6 so Elana was able to go to her intern. The rest of the day was laid back and then today was sports day. Three friends and I took advantage of being in Tel Aviv and we went shopping and chilled there for a while. Laina and I chilled at the beach till Arielle came back from France. Then we got back to Jerusalem and that my friends leads me to now. I am so tired, but if anything cool or interesting happens this weekend I will let you know here are some pics from break.
