Petra

---

Arrıved at Wadı Musa (Moses Valley) yesterday. So named as ıt's thought to be the spot Moses struck the rock when the Israelites were makıng their way to Canaan. Freak Englısh weather has struck wıth cool temperatures and a bıt of rain! Fortunately we've been upgraded to bedrooms as the roof dorm we were supposed to be sleepıng in is cold and damp.

Went to Petra of Indıan Jones fame today whıch was incredible and definitely my favourıte place so far. It's beautıful there and you can walk around for hours. It's much bigger than I thought wıth lots of buıldıngs built by the Nabataeans ın the 3rd century BC and colourful towerıng rock of reds, yellows, blues, browns. Turned out to be perfect weather for walkıng as we dıd a lot of ıt and were glad it wasn't too hot a day.

Food was quite prıcy there wıth the option of a 17EP buffet or 10EP buffet. I managed to fınd a cave where the donkey owners got theır lunch and had a nıce sandwıch for 2EP 😊
