We had a bit of a later start this morning, clearly we have cyclists legs not walking ones as both our leg muscles were pretty stiff from yesterday.
Having seen the bulk of the site yesterday we headed down the hill to the gates and began the long walk into the site. Instead of carrying on through to the main city we began the climb up to the Place of High Sacrifice. With tired legs it was a slow climb but the views were worth the effort.
After a good walk round at the top we stopped for a bit of lunch and then slowly headed back down and out of the site. We may not have seen everything, some places require a guide and some serious hiking, but we feel we have certainly done Petra justice. Despite the steep price it is undoubtedly one of the most impressive places to visit in the world.
Back at the hotel it was time for a well earned rest. We hope our legs have recovered by tomorrow, when we make the final leg of our Jordanian journey to Aquaba. The city is approx 140km away but 100km of it is downhill so we may make it in one day. One more free camp wouldn't be a hardship though.
