... dive into the 80 metre wreck that is 25 metres at the bottom. I get my own diver master who takes me right into the sunken ship and through all the creepy passages inside, I see five Lion fish just swimming about, cool! There is very little room for maneuver inside the wreck and it was a real challenge, thoughts of getting trapped race through my mind but I remain in control and finish the dive buzzing from the experience.

... the museum larger statues were on show as well as artefacts including spice and oil bottles which carried oils like frankincense and myrrh. By this time it was 3pm and we had to make a decision to make the hike up the mountain to the 2nd main attraction of Petra – the monastery or leave till tomorrow.

Headed to the desert to camp with the bedoin for the night in Wadi Rum. Next morning a camel ride and jeep safari through the desert dunes.
