Ships log day 108

Jordan Eygypt, 22.04.2017

In Jordan very very hot and sunny 42 degrees. We are now in the Holy lands and the middle East, with Syria just 150 miles away, not a place we would normally choose to go on our annual hols. Our tour today took us on a tour of the very nice city of Aqaba and then again through the mountains into the desert, where we transfered on to a 4 wheel open top Jeep and were taken through the most amazing desert landscape you can image to a Bedouin camp in a place called Wadi Rum where they filmed Laurence of Arabia and The Martian. We were shocked and surprised on the beauty of all the sand dunes and mountains all around us (Google Wadi Rum) our photo couldn't do it justice. We were driven around for 3 hours and got our toes in the hot sand at several stops. Our driver today was a Christian and talked all the time about stories from the Bible that took place right here and again it seemed to make them much more real being here, and we learnt more about the Bible than we ever knew before, again a trip to remember. Tomorrow a sea day. Photos of us on our jeep into Wadi Rum.
