Jerash, Jordan

OK, time for one more mud bath before heading up to Jerash. This Roman archaeological site is huge, so thank heaven we had almost totally recovered from Petra. And at least we didn't have any major hills to scale. It was well worth the visit.

We spent the night in Amman before heading back to Cyprus - a very civilized idea. Then things got a little stressful. Arriving in Jordan is a much better experience than leaving. We had a huge queue to check in (the self service kiosks didn't work), another queue for immigration/passport control, then of course a very large queue for security. It was a big relief to finally be on the plane for our short one hour flight.

All in all though, it was a wonderful experience and well worth it.
