We'd never been to the Middle East before so we were much looking forward to experiencing a new culture,not least after the Arab Spring. And with its long-standing links to the UK, Jordan was undoubtedly a 'safer' option for sampling the region.
So on 24 April we set off from Gatwick. The plan was to stay with Marney and Andy in their flat in Amman and to use it as a base. We'd hired a car, and were determined to see as much of the country and the sights as we could in our 8 days there.
Armed with detailed instructions, provided by Marney, for the drive from the airport to their flat, we set off in the rust-bucket we'd hired. And it was quite a baptism of fire!! Jordanian drivers take no prisoners. It's every man for himself here.
It was with more than a bit of relief we navigated the 5th Circle, found the HSBC building and parked outside the flat.
