Sunday 26^th  October

Another night in a comfortable bed with a solid roof over our heads. (A complains she cannot sleep outside the tent now!). Today after a lazy start we set off with Tuma and Ginnie to see the “Best Wadi in Jordan (Wadi Muyib).

We went through the attractive village of Madaba through a heavy police check (without the royal car I don’t think we would have got through!) to Mount Nevo and the church of Moses. Here we could look down on the Dead Sea, River Jordan, Jemcho and just Jerusalem. An awe-inspiring sight. On for lunch and the Rest House at Karak. Good lunch of chicken and salad. Anne and I then went round a crusader castle built by the village on top of a high hill. 

We wandered through old corridors, underground rooms all in a near perfect condition. The drive to Karak is down and up the impressive Wadi Muyib – fantastic and frightening if not driving. (My car had been left at the garage that morning for a service and check).

Coming back we had a fast drive to arrive by 7.00 in time for drinks at Mohammed’s with Silvia and husband plus the Whedies’ son and wife. Out at about 10.00 for a drink and steak sandwich in a bar.
