Petra I forgot to tell you about Petra




This will be short. the trip only really started at Petra. the ancient city in the valley. the one you see on the last Indiana Jones. It is just as impressive. OK more impressive. It was the best hike you could do. we worked up an serious hunger after the climbs The view was breathtaking. We took the day to see as much as we could then the 2nd say we covered the remainder. For most people the discovery could take more than 3 days. After the 2nd say Dominik suggested the Turkish bath. My legs were killing me so I was so in. What and experience. The place was under ground with a warm damp feel. We were taken to a room where we got on some shorts and went to the steam room to soften our skin. There was not time limit just whenever you are ready. You lay on large marble slabs and the air is warn and Wat. Dominik had me go in for the scrub first. The guy first scrubbed my body with a rough cloth and the skin came up in rolls. Then he soaps you up and the same time he rubs in a fast motion. I was in heaven. The whole experience woke me up and made my legs feel like new.

W then had cup of tea a few sweets in the lobby and went out for a dinner buffet. Slept like the dead that night.
Petra was very deserving of the 7 wonders of the world. It is a must see in life.

I hope you got some great photos! I'd like to see Petra myself, so it'll be nice to have a first-hand account to tide me over :)
