With having had to get up early the last couple of days, to visit the ruins, today we had a lie-in and a late breakfast.
We got talking to the duty manager who told us there was a mini bus leaving for Amman at 11.30 if we wanted to catch that instead of waiting till 4.30pm for the JETT bus. That sounded like a plan, travel on one of the local buses should be an experience not to be missed, and it was a fair bit cheaper than the JETT bus. With his offer of a lift down to the stop to catch it, it was a done deal. So, it was back upstairs to grab the bags and into his car and off to the bus stop.
The bus was packed with locals and a few backpackers, and air conditioning was the guy in the passenger seat opening the window.
We met a Canadian girl who was heading back to Amman to get a flight home, but was going to hang out in Amman for a couple of hours to kill time. So she ended up coming to our hotel to drop her bags in our room, before getting a whistle stop tour of Amman, which she loved. After she got her taxi to the airport, we headed out for a wander and something to eat, where we got talking to an elderly couple from New Zealand. League of Nations today!
And so to bed. Dead Sea tomorrow.
