There's a place we all know...

But this time it's not Dynamo... You know, the Blind Fury track! Great record by the way.

So... I'm fortunate and have my job take me places I'd never go myself. This time Jordan and mainly Amman. We of course had the evenings going places and our colleagues didn't waste any time. Amman by Night tour watching The Citadel, Roman Square and a lot more. Went to splash around in the Dead Sea and of course the ancient city Petra. There are more similar places around the area and the guide took us to Small Petra also, same but smaller. The area around that place was amazing though. Desert with hills, real beduine campa herding camels and goats. (goats are very tasty Btw).

Petra was absolutely awesome. So cool to walk the 2-3km's in the hill passage down to the city and when the Treasury (building) appeared, damn.
We also discussed going to Wadi Rum which apparently is even more beautiful than Petra.

The Dead Sea was also special. Hade to taste the water of course and damn that's salty, almost painful and then i just touched the tip of my tounge, not even a drop. Like spoons and spoons of salt in one go. But the skin liked it, felt very fresh afterwards, natural loofa just by standing in the water.
The dudes at the shop hade it easy selling Dead Sea products (facemask, handcream, mudcream, hairmask, salt rub... And not BBQ rub this time.)

We also went to Mount Nebo, the Sanctuary of Moses and the say Jesus visiten the place 2000 years ago. I'm not religious in any way but history like this IS fascinating.

And of course, the food... Damn good all of it, even the Indian food! (visiting Jaipur years ago destroyed Indian food for me)

So it sure was a great experience. The atmosphere was a bit like Malta, relaxed and friendly and very open, like anything goes... Anything from black ghosts to bikini chicks and no one cared.
So Jordan sure get my "like" click at least.

Cheers
