We stayed at the 7 wonders Bedouin camp last night - what an experience! We were in canvas covered huts with simple beds and one light and a candle. Dinner was cooked in the ground heated by fire. It was delicious! After dinner we gathered around a fire in a circular area with ground cushions. Here there were songs, wine and 2 cakes that miraculously appeared when I mentioned that it was Doug's birthday and mary Anne's 50th wedding anniversary. Unfortunately we couldn't call Don because there was no internet - did I say it was primitive?
The lights on the mountains around us, the full moon and the stars made it quite the experience. We were off to bed early for a wake up call at 5 am, breakfast at 5:30 and on the bus for 6 am. Whew!
Did I mention that Rip got up and had a shower and came back to tell it was time to get up and I had better get going before the rush the communal bathrooms - I raced out of bed, put clothes on, put on my watch and lit a candle to read the time - 2:05 am!!!
Back to sleep we went and got up at the right time; a little tired, but ready for another full day!
