Still on the way back from Aqaba to Amman, a short stop at the southern end of the Dead Sea. We wanted to sea the salt crusts we didn’t find in the north.

A sinkhole. The receding sea level of the Dead Sea causes these.

Salt.

On the road again.

Drive by shot. A bicycle shop, a bit surprising as I saw only a hand full of cyclists during 3 weeks.

Luckily the only victim was the car itself. It started burning right in front of us. Unfortunately the fire extinguisher of our rental car was empty. Not much we could do about it. In retrospect it would have been really surprising if it had worked, after all even the seatbelts weren’t all working.
