Peter - one of the new Wonders of the World Stogton India, England, a cursory acquaintance with the town of Wadi Musa, which is located near the ancient Nabatean city of Petra (Nabatean - an ancient state in the territory of modern Syria, Israel, Jordan and Saudi Arabia, whose capital was Petra, approx. Perevi.), there is a feeling that it was built specifically for tourists. This is a slightly depressed feeling appears when you visit in winter seaside towns in England. It seems that there is no reason why which the city could still exist. My friends Becca, Emlyn and I left Damascus on Monday morning and 6 hours on the bus got to the Jordanian city of Amman. Then we waited another 3 hours moving the bus to Petra. And all this within one long day. In Wadi Musa, we arrived at 7:00 pm. exhausted the 12-hour trip, we were attacked by a mob shill, which offers rooms for three people in different hotels for unthinkable prices. We had dinner at a roadside restaurant in the heart of the city and were shocked when we brought the check. It turned out that the main dish and a glass of cola costs are twice the price three course dinner at an expensive restaurant in Damascus. It is a shock when you come from Syria, where one pound is worth 75 Syrian pounds, Jordan, where the rate is almost 1:1. So when we were asked to number three man in the hotel "Musa Springs, which is located on a hill outside town, for 4 JD c a person, we felt some relief. We are not even embarrassed dirty walls and countries of the Soviet type of metal cabinet, which is conveniently located in the center of the room. However, the night everything fell into place: the sheets were small, and besides, they inexplicably stuck to the body. Emlyn entertained us as he could, poking fun at the fact that we all probably join in syphilis. Endless night was in a fetal position - we do not want to touch his feet mattresses, which had a suspicious tone. Peter the morning the first thing we packed up and left the room. Leaving all baggage at the reception, we have used free taxi and went to Peter. Peter, like everything else in Jordan, was fairly expensive - 26 pounds in two days of stay - although this time the trip paid off until the last penny. I had no idea that this city is so big. It seems He stretched more than 10 km. We went through the Siq, a natural canyon in the rock, which leads to the famous treasure, location filming the movie "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade." morning sun flooded the red brick facade, creating an indescribable feeling, in spite of that crowded around the thousands of tourists from all over the world. We decided that on the first day we will not go into a monastery, because it is one of the most beautiful places in Petra. In addition, we wanted to wait Everitt, who came one day later because decided to spend the night in Paris with his next girlfriend. Instead, we have overcome the 750 steps to the sublime sacrifice, where we made friends with a young boy named Abdullah and his sister. "There we had a good laugh over a large group of tourists from France, who could not understand what happens when one of them overheated and began to "reel in" circles, saying: "Cafe? Cookies?" All this reminded me of how I'm starting to whine when I get tired and hot. I usually mumble something like : "I'm tired. I'm hot ... I want cookie." Sik mountain view from the summit was simply wonderful. The majority of Peter's nothing pretended to be a cluster of hills and plain terrain, hiding the facades of the houses. We went down the other side of the mountain. At top we had a very long time, besides it was very hot, so that everyone else has left. We are perfectly walked the barren hillside, enjoying the stone carving and views of ancient temples. I am for 1.75 a pound bought my mother some of Abdullah a strange Bedouin doll that all the time remaining in the journey found a permanent place in the side pocket of my backpack. Kind of a cleft We drank all the water you brought with them, and ate all of the supplies. When we returned to the cafe after the bypassed Mount Desert on the sizzling heat, we just fell exhausted in the shade and laid out 10 pounds for the three Coca-Cola and a bottle of water, while even the most is not grumbling.
