Kia Ora & welcome to our blog; It may look like we've given up on the travels, but there will be more.... one day. Left the UK in the mid 1990's with plans for a year or so of exploring. Finally made it home again eleven years later, only to set off again soon after. Got lost along the way with a couple of years travelling in Asia, a year living, working & travelling to all corners of Australia & the rest travelling & later living & getting married in New Zealand.

I'm heading to the region soon. I can't think of reasons why you aren't allowed to visit Israel.

Israel....
We can't go to Israel, because if we did we then wouldn't be allowed into other countries on our trip....

Great blog
An informative and interesting blog, mainly because I have been to the dead sea but from the side of Israel...I honestly did not know there was so much history there in Jordan, and that is another place that I want to visit. It's unfortunate that you can't go to Israel cause you wouldn't be allowed in the neighbouring countries though, and I'm looking forward to the next entry.
