Hi guys. I am now in a town just 3 minutes walk from Petra. It is absolutely amazing! Everything you could imagine and more. Just wonderful. My feet are now aching from all the walking I have done over the last two days. We went up to the monastery where I got a scarf from "The Last Shop In Petra" - because it is on the very edge of a cliff. Here we met Artuf a Bedouin who is friends with Jony (our group leader) he gave us Bedouin tea and we chatted with him for over a hour. That was yesterday(we also had a 2 hour guided tour around Petra with our Jordanian guide Audi) and today we got up early and did the 3 hour walk up to the high place of sacrifice. Then chilled for a while then walked up to a lookout over the Treasury (the main sight) where Meg and Grant and I just sat and hungout in one of the most amazing places. I filled my memory card so that's 440 photos in 6 days! Ill try and upload some. Last night we went to the Cave Bar and learnt to dance Bedouin style which is lots of fun but can get quite difficult!
Thanks for all your responses they have been great! Keep them coming!! PLEASE

If you would like a post card please send me your address and where you would like a card from as there are so many of you and it would take me forever to send everyone a post card every time.
The group is fantastic it feels like we have known each other for a long time not just 2 1/2 days. Sue my room mate is lovely, she is my "yeonni", my big sister in Korean. There are the two Australian guys that are great and love to drink (how odd as they are Australian) but being in a Muslim country finding alcohol can be hard. Then there's Grant who has an Indiana Jones costume and has being wearing it for the last two days. Then there is Katharine and Jason who are cousins traveling together - they are so nice and happy. Then there's Bell who is an artist from CollingwoodMelbourne. Then there's Emmy a woman from England and Gina. And of course there's me......
Love to all, Acushla.
Love to all, Acushla.
