Petra, WOW WOW

For the night of the 2nd we stayed in Aqaba in South Jordan, strait away we realized that this country was well run and alot more western. From Aqaba you can see part of Israel and Saudi Arabia. We set off at 9am and drove to Wadi Rum for a few hours. The landscape here was amazing, James was still a little sick so just sat all day, Seb much better and Dad and I on fire!! The movie Lawrence of Arabia was filmed here, Lawrence of Arabia had a huge connection with this place, Dad and I went in ...

Petra

I took a little minibus shuttle from Amman to Wadi Musa, the town where the ancient remains of Petra are located. Another crazy/fun experience, a completely beat-up vehicle with a Bedouin at the wheel and once again I was the only foreigner on board. But it was a lot of fun and a great way to meet the locals. We pulled into Wadi Musa around 6pm about an hour before sunset, which was perfect since my hotel has a little terrace the overlooks the mountains where the ruins are located. Gorgeous. ...

Happy New Year from Petra

We made it all the way to Petra in Jordan today. Happy New Year to all! The last day of 2008 the boys learned how to windsurf in Dahab and we also went snorkelling with a glassbottom boat. The New Year's Eve party was mainly a big buffet (outdoors so a bit chilly, but nice food) We stayed up but decided not to join the Russians on their beach party. It just is getting too cold at night. The first of January was a bit of a lost day because we had to wait in the port of Nuweiba for the Ferry to...

... the hotel. It was a hoot to watch them run. Most of the them were barefoot! One little guy was wearing flipflops! Too funny. We even met a troop of scouts from Jordan. They were hilarious. They thought we were so interesting. We goofed with them and they were happy to get their picture taken.
Finally, when our driver arrived we had to walk about 2km uphill to the car. (the marathon had blocked most of the streets in our neighborhood.) Along the ...

Suffocating in cigarette smoke

Hello all,

I still have the flu unfortunately but not feeling quite as snotty as before which is nice.

I have been in Jordan for about 3 days now. Despite being just a 2 hour ferry ride from Egypt, it is very different. It is A LOT slower, the people aren't as pushy in selling their wares and it is a lot more westernised here, in their mannerisms and such. It's cleaner (no more piles of rubbish in the street) and you get ...

There is no Holy Grail here... but Petra is nice.

... to get rehydrated at.

We headed back to the hotel and I got on the internet for an hour at 2 dinar and took a rest before our BBQ dinner outside the hotel which was quite tasty. A few people on the tour took an optional excursion to the Turkish Baths, but I passed on it due to the high price. They said it was great but it is not really my thing. 4 of us decided to head back to Petra for Petra by Night, a night time view of the wonder with music and tea ...

Israel Part II + Jordan

... ll be fine". That was good enough for us...We left our "Uncle Danny" in the dust.

After climing the backside of the mountain, we witnessed a spectacular sunrise and walked about the magnificent excavated ruins dating from 2000 years ago. We eventually descended the mountain's "Snake Path" in (easily) 105 degree heat to the best orange juice EVER. Although our winded guide warned us that a $5 glass of OJ was a 'rip off', I wouldn't have traded it for ...

Jordanie : alentours de Madaba, mer morte et Petra

... vous fait une très désagréable croute de sel. Il est donc primordial d'avoir à disposition une douche ou mieux un piscine. Sinon je confirme, ça flotte très bien et on a bien l'air stupide quand on y est dedans avec les 4 fers en l'air. C'est même pas la peine d'essayer de se mettre sur le dos et de nager, les pieds sont pas sous l'eau et on a tendance à basculer tellement le centre de gravité est haut. Ca amuse beaucoup les touristes japonais ...

... of other tourists. We were to walk down in silence and take in the majesty of this place. The 2km route was lit by thousands of paper bag candles and it was a beautiful site. With everyone walking down in silence and the canyon walls lit by only the candles there was a spiritual feeling to this place which you just couldn't deny. We finally arrived to the slit in the canyon where you can see the Treasury and the area in front of it was covered in these candles. We soon found a spot ...

No donkey halfway

... the top of this long climb and see a stunning sandstone building carved into the side of a cliff-the lower Treasury, familiar from movies and travel books, was amazing as well, but I didn't feel I had learned anything from seeing it other than to say that I had seen it. But hiking to the monastery at Petra made me feel like I had truly accomplished something. From the monastery, we could see several Jordanian flags at various ...
