Day 10: Aqaba - Amman

Friday, May 8, 2009

Today we have the bus transfer from Aqaba to Amman at 11.30 in the morning, so we get up a little later than these days back from the trip to Jordan for free and we will have breakfast at the lounge of the Captain's Hotel in Aqaba where we have stayed tonight. The truth is that this has been one of the best breakfasts we have had in Jordan.
We took the opportunity to go to a 7 Eleven that we have next door and buy some food for him bus from Aqaba to Amman, since it will be 4 hours of travel and we will arrive in Amman about 4 in the afternoon, they are having time to eat.
The surprise comes when on the bus they do not say that we have to leave the bag of food in the trunk, so with this we already know that we will eat quite late today. We have no other.

Once we arrived in Amman, before collecting our bags, we found a multitude of taxis waiting and offering their services.

There is one that does not take off from us. He doesn't speak much English but we understand some things he wants to tell us when we tell him that we have finished the trip and that tomorrow we are going to the airport. He tells us that he takes us to the hotel with a meter if tomorrow he takes us to the Amman airport.
Before entering we ask you how much you will charge us for the trip to the airport and tell us 15 dinars.
The offer of the hotel was 30 dinars, that of our "friend Bassam", about 25, so we chose to tell this man that yes and so leave this also tied.

Even a little disgusted with the taxi driver who did not appear in Petra the day we were going to Wadi Rum, we repeat that please remember and after repeating it as 10 times, he tells us with a huge smile, that we do not worry, that we do not worry He'll sleep that night to make sure he doesn't sleep
So he takes us to the Toledo Hotel, where we were the first day we arrived in Jordan, for 2 dinars and met him the next day at 5.30 in the morning to take us to the Amman airport.
Once at the hotel they give us a suite, although we had reserved a normal room, where we rested for a while and in the afternoon we will see the Mosque of King Abdullah I of Amman.

After seeing theMosque of King Abdullah I of Amman outside we walk through the streets of Amman, losing ourselves, until the Amman Coptic Orthodox Church.

We dined in the same restaurant of the Toledo Hotel since this area of the city does not offer too many places to eat or dine or perhaps we have not known how to see them.
