Jordan Journal Day 8

I got up and met up with Wendy and Lucy to take their photos covered with mud and bobbing about in the Sea. This was at 6.30am! Then Alan came down and we waited in the Lobby as gradually everyone gathered. All too soon, we were saying goodbye and waving them off in a great big bus, as Mohammed had been called away to another job, and we couldn't say goodbye to him. The others would give Moe our gifts and say thank you from everyone when they got to the Airport. That just left Maki and ourselves, so we went and had breakfast together. She went to get ready for her flight to Amsterdam, and we got ourselves ready for another bathe. This time after the mud, we used the platform to get into the Sea, which was better. We bobbed about, making it across to the float and rope barrier to hang about for a while, then came out and after a shower for me, we lay out of the loungers to 'dry'. At 11am we went to the bar for a coffee, then upstairs for a quick shower, before seeing Maki off with Khalid who will be collecting us tomorrow.


Now we are alone after our week of being thirteen - a strange feeling as it has been such a busy and fun time. A great crowd of people to spend some time with. We are going to have dinner at the Italian restaurant tonight before our 9am start in the morning.
After a second dip in the Sea, we tidied ourselves up in readiness for another sunset, but a sea har came up and that was that, so we had a quiet half hour when A watched some golf on the TV, and I read my book. Later we descended to the Acacia Bar for a lemonade with mint and a beer before dinner. Khalid will meet us at 8am tomorrow to drive us to the airport and our flight home.
