A trip in which we paid too much for lunch, found out that no buses were running back to Amman in the late afternoon and thus found us squished into a taxi for a long ride back, paying too much again, was still uncolored by these incidents. The beauty of Ajloun and the surrounding country can hardly be described. And neither can running goat-herding paths on the first trails I'd set foot on in Jordan, dropping down into valleys and then coming up again to look over empty, green hills.
Thus, photos:
 |
| spices, nuts, honey, etc on the highway from Jerash to Ajloun |
 |
| 13th century Muslim crusader castle, few tourists, few forbidden areas (not europe) |
|
 |
| the 360 view made the importance of this outpost obvious |
|
 |
| the nature reserve was incredible, and mostly deserted as well |
 |
| ian and ben strayed from the path, despite the signs |
 |
| the castle lit up for sunset |
|
 |
| after over-charging, the driver consented to take a photo (albeit blurry) of us |
