Our ferry ride was everything we had come to expect from Egypt. There were also Palestinians, Saudis, Jordanians (of course), and an assortment of tourists from the UK, Belgium, and Germany.
The truck drivers sat on deck smoking and playing cards while we wandered around the boat taking illegal photos of the boat and passing naval ships.
We landed in Aqaba after dark, met our guide, adjusted our watches to the new time zone, and headed to the hotel. A lovely and delicious buffet supper was followed by free time to wander freely around the pretty, very clean and well kept downtown.
The continuing adventures of Tom and Bobbie Lucido and the World Travel Club...this year we descend upon the Mediterranean starting in Madrid. We will travel through Andalusia to Portugal. Flying to Casablanca we travel to Marrakech before departing for Munich where we will spend a day exploring before catching our continuing flight to Turkey. Next we will board a Greek Isle cruise. We’ll visit ancient Greece before ending our nine week journey in Egypt and Jordan.
