 It would take 6 days of hiking from Petra to Wadi Rum. Anna-Sophie and I hiked part of the trek for one day. We started in an area where heavy fighting took place between Israel and Jordan in 1967. A cemetery of fallen soldiers was speaking of this
We hiked down into a wadi with hardly any path visible. The uneven ground was scattered with many rocks and boulders and required utter attention. Our Bedouine guide Yusuf was looking for a dry stick for me to use as a staff. It helped. He could not speak English, but pointed to many interesting sites and plants.
In the middle of nowhere, a Beduine family guarding their goats invited us for tea. They were extremely nice and welcoming. When I asked if I can take a photo, they posed with their weapons.
Farther down the valley, we passed some places with water still in the creek.
Our host picked us up in the evening. He prepared  a typical Jordanian meal for us consisting of pieces of lamb, tomatoes, onion, potatoe, garlic and coreander. It was delicious!
Wir sitzen gerade bei Kürbis mit Belugalinsen und schauen uns deine tollen Bilder an. Ich lese Anne Marie deine Kommentare vor. Und sie sendet dir Ganz liebe Grüße
Hmmm – Kürbis mit Belugalinsen klingt gut! Freut mich, dass ihr ein bisschen mit mir gewandert seid.
What an amazing experience you are having and what gorgeous photos.
Thank you, dear Erica. Your comments mean a lot to me.
