Dead Sea Not wanting to see anything of the apparently rather bland capital of Amman (In fact I didn't spend one day there, isn't travelling on a time limit fun), I decided to head to the Dead Sea instead. I managed to recruit these two Australian girls to come with me and we all headed off to the lowest spot on the face of the planet, 422m below sea level, to float around in water so salty that n...

July 2006 - July 2007: I embarked on a round the world trip with the small distraction of two semesters of study at McGill University in Montreal, Canada. November 2008 - November 2009: Embarked on another RTW adventure with the small distraction of working at Breckenridge Ski Resort in Colorado. I spent time in the US North West, Europe and the Middle East. July 2013 - October 2013: After working for 3 years after uni, its time for a holiday. Europe Bound. Well that's the plan, we'll see what really happens along the way...... full info

Since I don't ascribe to smilies, I'll have to spell it out; I laughed out loud when reading this entry. AND you gave me a new must-go-destination. I have an affinity for rocks, you see. Good reading ya!

Jordan is spectacular
Can't agree more. I loved Jordan, too. The highlight was Petra for me. The sun was shining fully on the Treasury as we came round the corner from the Siq so the whole building just gleamed pink. It was spectacular. I envy you having young enough legs to get up to the Monastery - I would have liked to do it. How did it compare to the Treasury, in your opinion? Wadi Rum's best attraction for me was the wonderful, weird shapes the rocks made (red sand is not so odd to us Aussies as we have it all over our outback). Don't know how you could spend 2 hours in the Dead Sea, though. 15 mins was enough for me - started to make my skin sting. I didn't get it in my eyes but a little got in my mouth as I was struggling to get my feet down. YUK YUK YUK.
