Dead Sea
Translated by SFT
Jerusalem is at about 770 meters (2500 feet) above the sea level, whereas the surface of the Dead Sea is about 397 meters (1300 feet) below the sea level. Therefore, there are only 2 small uphill rides from Jerusalem to the Dead Sea; the rest are all downhill, which also means it would be mostly uphill ride the other way. Which reminds me of another story... When I see you please ask me to tell you the story of my journey to school everyday when I was a boy. It was 14 km round trip on my bike, uphill both ways. And then there was the snow...
