It was an amazing experience to float in this water. My room mate and I spent an hour and a half in there that night and had to force ourselves to get out - we were enjoying it so much. The water was warm - it had a "slick" feeling to it - almost oily and of course it was VERY SALTY. Once we got out and started to dry we were covered in salt and couldn't wait to get back to our room and shower. Interestingly, the next morning I had a raging headache which I attributed to the salt (I'm a long-term migraine sufferer and one of my "triggers" has been salt).
I had a blood test on 6/14 prior to my regularly scheduled doctor's appointment and the sodium content in my blood was higher than the high end of the spectrum. I guess I should have spent a little less time in the salty Dead Sea ;-) but . . . it was oh so wonderful!!!
