600th POST!!!!
In My Life - Established 2010
But back in Jordan. Last tour day and I can't wait to get home!
But I will briefly mention the plastic pollution that is a blight on Jordan. No so much the plastic bottle here, but plastic bags, everywhere. They are trying to clean it up but they have along way to go.
Then the coach broke down....
So we had a fleet of yellow taxis to take us to our next stop
Which was Kerak Castle. Another crusaders castle and also on a big hill...
I think this was just suppose to be a quick photo stop, but we needed to wait for a new coach and driver to come from Petra so we were there for a few hours.
We had to take all our carry on luggage with us and lug it around! Usually we would have left it on the coach. They are building a new visitors centre but its not finished and the only toilets were the disgusting builders port-a-loos.
But they did give us water melon.
Poor Mo was so stressed and lots of phone calls were made..
Finally the new coach arrived and we went for a very, very late lunch at a restaraunt in Jerash.
Then it was a visit to the Roman ruins in Jerash, and now I'm really over it!
Then one of the ladies in our group fell down the hill. Everyone is tired. Fortunately in was only cuts and bruises an there was an ambulance at the bottom of the hill so they patched her up.
It was a long day, especially after the long day at Petra yesterday.
Because of our breakdown we missed the panoramic tour of Amman, which was a shame I would have preferred to do that than the Roman ruins...
Amman looks like a beautiful city, clean and tidy with lots of white buildings, beautiful gardens and street trees.
Here is our stop for the night, the Fairmont Amman.
We didn't arrive until after 6:30 and some in our group only had time to use the bathroom and run a brush through their hair before they had a transfer to the airport. Poor things, because it was one of the most beautiful hotels I have ever stayed in. No take that back, it is the best. I'll compare them all to this from now on.
The bathroom was like a suite all of its own.
And from our window....
As we had a big late lunch we just went to the bar for something simple.
Its a bit fancy, that is the sweets above. Felt a bit under dressed.
Goodnight Amman.
