Day 11 - Wednesday 11/10/2006
We crossed the Jordanian border at lunchtime today (Wednesday 11/10/2006). It took an hour and a half and lots of money, but we are in jordan. We tried to get as far as possible, but got snared up in huge traffic in Amman, where some idiot bumped in to NC pannier. No real damage, just a few scratches.
We rode south across vast desert, saw some camels and a beautiful sunset. We rode in the dark for what seemed like hours and ended up in Ma’an near Petra about one hundred kilometres from Aqabar on the coast.
We are staying in a total dive. The previous occupants were sheep. They obviously stayed for at least three years. Anyway, it’s Petra tomorrow, very exciting. It is sweltering during the day we could do with some rain J
