Day 16 - Aqaba to Amman

After a really late night and slow start in the morning I joined the group for our long trek down the King's Highway to Amman. We had about a 2 1/2 hour drive so I crashed most of the way, waking up for the occasional bump or slow down for a camel crossing. Stopped a couple of times at some tourist traps and got killed by the costs, but its a holiday so what can you say. We arrived at Amman and made some quick stops at the King's mosque and the Amman Theatre which gave some good history about the region. Amman has some really poor areas, but undergoing a transformation given all the tourism Jordan is experiencing. Took some pictures of the shanty houses as we drove to the hotel. checked into the hotel and the group went for our farewell dinner at a local establishment which ranks up as one of the best meals I had in Jordan...mixed grill of meats wrapped in some local tortilla style bread...very tasty...back to the hotel and we had a beer before calling it a night and saying our goodbyes...
