Today's journey was quite exhausting and quite demanding in the final section, with some hairpin bends along the way, and a long section at that.

However, the views that the route offered were wonderful, although they reminded me a bit of the landscape of Greece.

Things changed when we reached Wadi Musa, a town right next to Petra. Since we had a car for the entire trip, we decided to soak up some local folklore, and we weren't disappointed.

We didn't encounter a single European the entire day, and we also stayed at the Petra Magic Guest House, run by a Jordanian couple in the village of Uum Sayhoun. Quite an interesting experience.

We didn't encounter a single tourist in the village, and yet we became the subject of scrutiny. It's a bit tiring when everyone greets us and wants to high-five us.

The village itself is very poor, but there are smiles on every face. We couldn't get enough of the children.

Cool experience. Tomorrow we have an 8-hour tour of Petra. We'll see what it brings.
