Peace Way Hotel Wadi Musa

... carving this piece of art out of a mountain side is incredible! Cody scattered some of his dad's ashes around petra aswell, so now Terry has been to the Pyramids, and Petra :)

We walked around quite a bit and got some great shots (of course) of us and Petra. Cody and I have to watch Indiana jones and the last crusade to see petra. We saw some real cheesy shirts there with indiana jones on them that say Petra ...

... up with the people on my tour group, four other guys and fourteen girls, seems this tour is popular with the chicks. Get chatting to Kat, Nat, Emma and Caroline two of which are Canadian and two Australian who are very cool and share the same sense of humour. There is a South African family (white) who are lovely - dad, mum, two daughters and the daughter's boyfriend. The older daughter immediately brings to my attention (before I get the chance to notice ...

... br>Op een gegeven moment klommen we zo'n weggesleten trap op, en die durften/konden we toen niet echt meer af.. Was dat effe grappig geweest, als we de toeristenpolitie hadden moeten bellen van bovenop een berg.. Gelukkig vonden we na een end lopen een ander doodeng trappetje, waar we mekaar naar beneden holpen. We waren inmiddels wel in de juiste Wadi (droogliggende watergang) maar nog steeds geen holy place te vinden.

Dus liepen we maar terug naar ons ...

Friday 17th July. We woke around 6.30 am for a forgettable brekky of flat bread and jam and tea and we left to return to Wadi Rum. The desert was so different in the early morning with coloured cliffs not washed out yet by the hot sun. We drove back to the town and waited for the bus to Petra at 8am. Soon we were on the minibus on our way and arrived in the mountainous town of Wadi Musa by around 11.30am. We stopped at a recommended hotel only to find it was full and they ...

Imagine the endless sands of the desert, punctuated by dramatic granite and sandstone mountain ranges. Now imagine a relentless sun, an impossibly azure sky, a punishing heat, and no signs of life whatsoever. Finally, picture a 4x4 straining to get through the sands, its engine roaring in fury, with 4 occupants atop, it's driver confidently pushing forward through the lands his people have called home for generations. With Bonnie and I, our new friends Michael and Bridget from ...

... high. Featured in the third Indiana Jones movie, it has been someplace both Kevin and I have wanted to visit for a long time. An hour later, we arrived. Luckily, it's in hilly terrain, so it was comparatively cooler. We met our guide Mahmoud and headed into history... The ancient residents lived in caves, which dot the hills. They built a city into the rosy mountains, using Greek and Roman architectural influences, including great columns, statues, and ...

... denn der Laden ist klar ueberteuert und das Personal groesstenteils arrogant und unfreundlich. Aber es lebt eben von seinem Ruf. Von Zedane habe ich abgesehen von einem Anruf, den ich nicht beantwortet habe, nichts mehr gehoert. Gut so. Die naechsten Tage ueber gehts erstmal ein bisschen wandern, bevor ich zu Angelo in Amman zurueckkehren werde. Bis jetzt habe ich mit Wadi Rum und Petra ganz eindeutig die Schokoladenseite von Jordanien gesehen... Brisko

... when his son was 4. When we got up to the Monastary it was deathly windy and sandy. The monastery was pretty cool but it was insane how these buildings were not sand blasted away hundrededs of years ago. A man climbed up to the top of the building and sat there. If I was doing that I would be so scared. We took camels back to the treasury. My camel was evil he would make scary noises at you that sounded like chewbaca from star wars and would pretend ...

... place and got a dorm room of 16 for 3 Dina which is cheap for Jordan. Jordan is not that cheap I tell you Egypt is a lot cheaper. After chatting to some of the staff some from Sri Lanka and Indonesia which is a bit random we headed out to Petra. Petra is officially one of the wonders of the world and I was really looking forward to seeing it I was not to be disappointed. We brought a 2 day ticket which cost me 26 Dina no student discount I am afraid. We headed ...

... quiet at the station, just some men sitting around waiting for minibuses. Changed completely when a minibus turned up. People sprinting from all directions trying to get in. Best thing I saw was some guys deciding to jump through the windows at the back to secure a seat. Crazy stuff. Bit put off by that and the fact that the destinations are in Arabic so I couldn't work out where they were going. And didn't fancy walking up trying to ask where it was going and getting crushed ...
