Sunset

 A day of torrential showers and then a good sunset at the end of the day 

Fox on the hill

 Up on the hill this evening and a fox was running around just after sunset.

Jordan Day 7 delayed Blogging

 The last full day in Jordan and we drove from Aqaba to Amman, with a trip to swim in the Dead Sea.   

Jordan Day 6 delayed Blogging

 After a night in a tent in Wadi Rum, it was up early for a drive to Aqaba. Then a trip on a glass bottom boat and some snorkelling, before a chance to relax by the pool in the hotel.

Jordan Day 5 delayed Blogging

 First thing in the morning we had a visit to Little Petra. The site of some of the oldest man made structures in the world and a visit to cleft in the rocks that was used as a 'hotel' for camel caravans.

Then it was a drive south to Wadi Rum. the landscape was very impressive.  we had a stop at the train station, a drive across the desert in a 4x4 to see ancient rock art, then a ride on a camel and a traditionally cooked meal followed by some time out in the desert at night. 

Jordan Day 4 delayed Blogging

 Day 4 was a "free" day in Petra. 

We had an early breakfast and then walked back down to the site.  Thew day was cooler , less windy and much quieter than the day before, so all in all a much nicer experience. we walked all the way up to the Monastery site which is about 800 steps and a climb of over 600'. 

That evening we went back down to the Treasury for Petra by Night. A bit of a scrum but glad we did it.
