Day 17 - Traveling to Petra, Crusader castle
One our way by motor coach (aka nice bus) down to Petra. Stopped for some photo and shopping opportunities. Pretty views of the remains of a crusader castle. Checked into our Mövenpick hotel in Petra later in the evening...

On our way down to Petra we stopped to check out the views from the cliffside restaurant. Pretty spectacular! |

We made another stop along the way to do a little shopping. Angela apparently was pleased with her purchases... :) |
Final stop before Petra was the remains of the Ash Shoback/Montréal medieval castle. |

View of the bleak hillside below the castle... |
I think Angela and Annie were just happy to get off the bus... |

View of the castle from the road, this is about as close as we got! |
