Photos to come soon.
This morning we woke up early and headed in to Petra. We opted to enter via the Wadi Muthlin trail (instead of through the Siq), which Lonely Planet advertises as a relatively easy "scramble" that requires you to lower yourself down some boulders. Well... it was interesting. It started out through a river bottom--rocky and not easy to walk on. Then it narrowed and we had to start lowering ourselves down boulders and making our way through corkscrew turns of rock. It was beautiful. But a bit daunting -- I (Dyanne) was afraid we'd somehow wandered off the trail at a number of points. We hadn't and ended up by the Royal Tombs. We wandered around them and got a great aerial view of the Theatre. We walked out via the Siq as the tour groups were arriving and were back in our car by 11:00.
