June 2 - Petra (Wadi Musa)

Well, Bojan and I got up early to get a mini bus to Wadi Musa so we could catch the sites at Petra. The driver was on Arab time, so real slow. We got to Wadi Musa and stayed at the Cleopetra hotel for the night. Got ready then went to get ticket so to visit the Petra site.

I tried to get information on swimming in the Dead Sea, but is pretty much impossible to do on a tight timeline, so that is the first thing I could not do in this trip.

It is a huge hike in the Petra area. The Treasury is the most famous site at Petra, there are many others too. I spent about 5 hours hiking around taking photographs. The photos will speak alot more about the site than my mere words. Truly impressive!

Plans sort of changed, despite buying a 2 day pass to Petra, I have decided to go onto Wadi Rum for the next day and Aqaba to start heading back to Cairo.

I must say that things are a little more expensive in Jordan but the people are nicer. The Egyptians are all over you to buy stuff and it is really annoying after a while. Jordan is a nice change.
