Picked the car hire up and drove south to Lots cave (soddem and gomarrah) then up to a fort thats supposed to be Gomarrah of old we had 2 blowouts at the same time in the effing middle of nowhere ,2 young Jordanian lads stopped to help us took one of the tyres away to get a new one fitted brought it back £18 they also fitted the wheels back on for us so we dropped them a few quid, couldnt get hold of the hire company.
