Day 2 at Petra was a pretty easy going day, first we rode donkeys up to the Monastery.
The donkeys climbed the 800 some odd stairs for us which we were very grateful for.
You cant see so well in the picture but off to the left is quite an impressive drop off. Most of the time the donkeys weren't being led by anyone. But they are a very sure footed animal and we soon became comfortable that they wouldn't slip and plunge over the edge.
This is a nice view point from about 5 minutes from the top. At this point we had to wait for Michael and Chris to catch up. Chris might have permanently lamed two donkeys on the way up to the Monastery, before finally deciding to walk the last 10 minutes.
This is a picture of the Monastery, it shows just how big it is with Chris and the kids standing in front.
A fun family picture in front of the Monastery.
We then took a short 20 minute hike to the
"END OF THE WORLD"
view point.
This is the breathtaking view.
Our hike back had another nice view of the Monastery.
