Mitzper Ramon 
That's the Mitzper Ramon, the world's biggest geological crater. It's a gigantic desert place that we drove down into in our rickety van. I think if our van kaputted, we'd die thirstily along with it. We had a walk around a prismic knoll, made out of blocky black rocks. Driving further, we had lunch in a Bedouin tent where we paid monopoly prices for the pita with salad and labani and humous. There is also a Bio Ramon, which houses some of the native creatures that live in the crater : scorpions, black widows, vipers, tortoises, beetles, lizards and a young pretty Jewish girl who showed us around.
