We arrived fromWadi Rum. At about five, we left wadi Rum at 0700. Somup at six. Sleeping in raised above the ground tents. Lots of blankets. But a long walk to the LOo in the middle of the night, chose the easier route. One wild ride, hanging on for dear life in the back of a pick up truck.
The ride across the sand dunes reminded us a bit of Namibia and Egypt. We were told to expect jeeps but in actual fact they were converted pickup trucks. The back of which had iron benches welded to the floor and cushions to soften the bumps.
We stopped enroute at an ancient. Castle site. Climbed up up amid wild flowers. The desert has bloomed after the extraordinary rain.
We swam in the natural hot pool. Hoping it would help,our colds. Then eventually got to a bar..R spent a long time showing the bar man how to make a martini. We had to drink it and the three drinks plus water came to fifty dollars,
Our room faces the gorge opening east. This is the first bed room that I have been in which did not have an arrow indicatingthe direction for Mecca.
