Wednesday 21 November
After two nights at Taba Heights the two crews from “Fat Annie”and “Casa Tu” came aboard “Intsomi” for an excursion to Aqaba in Jordan. After checking in at the Royal Jordanian Yacht club, a visit was quickly arranged to the desert wilderness of Wadi Rum for the following day. The rock outcrops and desolate scenery were quite special and are unique. The night was spent in a Bedouin camp with genuine(?) Bedouin (in)sanitary facilities and was enhanced by plenty of red wine. On Friday the group continued to the abandoned city of Petra. Petra is an archeologic site of huge proportions set in terrain that rivals Wadi Rum for its austerity. The massive stone tombs carved into the native rock two thousand years ago were quite breathtaking.
