Petra

And you can see the trail I walked extend in the distance. Yeah. Needless to say I was tired at this point, but when you look back at the scenery you just don't care. Plus I had like 400 more steps to climb. You see, there's this monastery at the top of this big ass hill and these monks carved 800 odd steps into the hillside to get there, plus the monastery itself which is carved into the mountainside.

But despite sore legs, the hike is fantastic. And dangerous, but that adds to the dynamic. It's amazing as you walk through this canyon how still everything is. There's no water, no wind, no clouds. Everything is very... separated. Plants, rock and blue sky. Three things. And you and your footsteps dredging on. To be honest, I'd never been anywhere like it.
