Lawerence and Indiana Jones....

We just visited Wadi Rum. It was some of the best desert scenery that I have ever seen. The different colours formed some spectacular sights. While we were out there, we visited a Bedioun house. It was pretty much some large pieces of wood that held up some sheets over it.... It was very nice though, and the people there were very friendly.

We then made our way to Petra via the King's Highway. I started to feel a little sick as we were approaching, because of all the winding roads.

Robin, David and I decided to go and see 'Petra At Night', at the lost city of Petra. The siq leading to the entrance way was lit up with candles, so it was nice during the 2km walk.

The show itself wasnt so interesting. There was an old man who just told us a story about the people who used to live there.

The next day we went to Petra again, but this time to look at all of the lost city. It was so amazing. The colours of the rocks there were something I had never seen before. It took us a while to get to the entrance way this time, as it was really hot, even though it was morning.

By the end of the day, I couldnt be bothered walking back through the siq, so I rode a horse. On the way back, I stopped in a little rest stop, and got talking to a nice Jordanian man. I was so tired that I just went back to the hotel and slept. Later that night I met up with Charlotte and Gaz up on the roof top of Rabee's hotel, smoked a few sheesha's, and had a few drinks.
