Cheryl was one happy camper today. She asked about Gluten-free food and someone went away and came back with two plates of bread that she could have. One of them was really moist with chocolate chips. I thought that it was better than the non-gluten-free chocolate muffin.
After that we got on the bus for a trip to Petra in Jordan. It took about an hour to actually get across the border. We had to leave the bus, show our passports 4 different time, and change bus, driver and guide. After a 2 hour drive plus a break, we arrived at Petra around noon. We walked to the Treasury. With stops for the guide to describe features it took close to an hour and a half to get there. It was downhill all the way. Cheryl rode a camel while there. At this point, we had about an hour and a half to look around and get back to the top. It was quite the hike, but we made it.
After that we had a lunch buffet at about 3:15. It was OK, but I was not really hungry after the long hike.
We left the restaurant at 4 to make it back to the border by 6.
Made it back across the Israeli border. We had to show our passports about 7 times to get through.
We are now sitting on the bus while most everyone else is in Eilat Stone looking for bargains.
