This beach is different from the mud type which non off the beaten track tours went to. It is like a lake but with salt and minerals. Lots of white salt deposits. No mud. Water very clear. You can see the bottom  We wadded into the waters. Scooped up the white salt in our hands and took photos with the rising sun as the backdrop. Fantastic. There were about ten of us. The rest probably still sleeping. Am now waiting for the breakfast doors to fling open as I write this email. Shalom from the Salt Sea, Terence |
