A visit to the Petra Museum

Once we got back to the site entrance, we went for a drink at The Cave. It was lovely just to sit in the sun 🌞 for a while! When we'd recharged our batteries, we went go the Petra Museum. It helped us to understand the historical timeline better.

I picked up a copy of 'Married to a Bedouin' by Marguerite van Geldermalsen, a New Zealand born nurse who visited Petra in 1978 and ended up changing her life completely. I look forward to reading it when we get to Aqaba and I have time!

After the museum, we went to the Red Cave restaurant for a delicious lunch. Later, we skipped the evening's drinking with the rest of the 'fun group' and, instead, spent the time editing photos 📸 and catching up on posts.Read more
