Nachdem wir (mit Hilfe sein** Frau) klären konnten, dass das nicht uns**e Absicht ist taut die Kleine ganz schnell auf und unt**hält uns alle.<br><br>Irgendwann gegen Mittags v**lassen wir zu Fuß das Dorf Richtung Petra.

... the morning. <br><br>We had fought with our guide to have an early start to Petra, so everyone was downstairs waiting to leave by 7 am. We got to the site and started the 1.5 km walk through The Siq towards the Treasury. We arrived by 8 am and were some of the first people there and able to get some nice pictures before the masses arrived. The standard time to arrive at the Treasury is 9 am when the sun starts to light up the front of the ...

We took the bus from Madaba to the town of Wadi Musa which is only a few km's from Petra. There isn't much going on in the town, probably not the place you would ever consider visiting except for that it's at the gateway to Petra.<br><br>Our Hotel had a great view over the city and the sunsets were stunning. We decided to get a two day pass for Petra so we could take our time exploring.<br><br>Wow, what an ...

... and beer. Unexpected, but welcome, we figured that we were safe. So Becca began to change for our walk around the Yehuda market when his buddy (lets call him Bellhop II) comes bursting in bringing extra water. Becca literally dove into the bathroom...Bellhop II apologized profusely. Since he was 'family', we just said "don't tell your Mother". Not to be outdone, the night before leaving Jerusalem, a hotel attendant (different hotel) arrives at our door after 11pm ...

... jour, y compris à 4 heures du matin. Une autre différence notable est le coût de la vie, relativement élevé, et l'inéfficacité des transports (pas d'heures précises de départ, peu de destinations touristiques desservies), ce qui rend presque inévitable de louer une voiture pour profiter du pays et éviter les taxis arnaqueurs.<br><br> Après la visite de la ville, bien agréable et célèbre pour ses mosaiques et sa forte influence chrétienne, je pars ...

... whey could only have about 5ppl wide max and they were attacked above by the locals and would have never made it far. This 50km squared city was amazing with full irrigation down into the city. This was the only water supply in the area so all the caravans had to come through Petra. You have to be really careful walking down as there are the old city streets which horse and carrages race up and down with the odd camel as well. <br><br>We were all so excited as we got closer and closer ...

... basics of city infrastructure, a granary, a public bath, or evidence of a real temple. Perhaps it's just an urge to dig deeper, whether in trying to understand the ruins of a city I'm walking through or in pushing myself to climb those last 100 stairs when I didn't make it to the gym quite as often as I had hoped I would.<br><br>Still, donkey or no donkey, monks or no monks, the mysteries of Petra are worth experiencing. I didn't feel cheated that it wasn't really a monastery ...

... that I had tried the first time, unfortunately partway through the following night he became very sick with food poisoning and didn't get much sleep. Speaking of sleep, the hotel we stayed in was very close to a mosque, in fact at 4:45 in the morning it sounded like the speaker for the muezzin (call to prayer for Muslims) was right outside of our room. Not only that but there were 4 mosques in the area, all with a muezzin ...

... the main road of Petra which is the Siq towards the Treasury which is where they filmed Indianan Jones. The Siq is 3 to 6 meters wide in some parts and provides you with some great photos and views it really is awsome. After walking for 1 km we saw the Treasury for the first time and I think I said wow to myself quite a few times! It really is an amazing sight and defiantly worths its palace as a wonder of the world. It is carved out of rock and really amazing ...
