Last weekend we had a little trip to see little more of Jordan. Our trip headed first to Petra, an ancient city that is built inside the mountain and then to Wadi Rum, a nice desert place.
Petra is just amazing place, you maybe have seen some photos of it, specially from The Treasury, because that has been featured in the Indiana Jones movie, but when you actually see it, it is just amazing. You cannot believe how big the whole place is.
And it is just a part, not everything has been dug out of sand and stone. It is just amazing how somebody actually could managed to build something like that and I cannot stop thinking that could we build anything like that nowadays anymore? The whole city inside the mountain, that is just something that I really don’t think that is possible today anymore.
Next stop was to the Wadi Rum, a desert place where we had a food and slept – well in theory. In those two hours that I was able to sleep. Wadi Rum is a nice desert place we stayed right next to mountain that gave just a slightly shield from the wind, but it was still a really windy place. And right next to our camp was the real desert. It was – well amazing 
First time seeing real desert is an experience, and now I understand what everyone is meaning by saying that desert is just a big sandbox. Because that it is, nothing but sand. That part desert was not so dry so there was actually some plants growing, which was good for camels – during our camel ride they got hungry and just stopped to eat all plants. They just had to taste every plant they found 
We watched sunset, which was beautiful but I think that sunset back home, on the lake is just so much prettier. And sunset is something that you should not watch in the group… And in the morning we watched sunset also, woke up early and just sat on the rocks and watched the whole show. That was nice, but again, sunrise back home, near lake on the winter morning is much prettier
