Petrified in Petra (2)

Even after our traumatic scramble over the cliffs, I still had a yen to see Petra from above – not to mention exploring Wadi Muthlim, the dry river canyon that forms a route into the site.And Z was still curious, too.So, equipped with our guide, we set out for a scramble down the river.What could possibly go wrong?Petra is especially beautiful in May, when pink oleanders bloom around the site, and smaller wildflowers too, and even with the grey skies above, it’s a pretty walk.
