17 kilometers of hot springs



Last weekend we had a trip with our work.
On Thursday everyone was told very seriously, be at the headquarters 6.45 sharp! We have a long day and a lot to go through. 6.55 we arrive to the place, worried that everyone is waiting for us already. But, we were one of the first ones to arrive :). 1 hour later, the buss arrives and 5 minutes after that, the last person arrives. Around 8, we start our journey – Jordanian timing :).
Our first stop was Madaba. City with the oldest churches in the world:


The second stop, Mount Nibu, part of the holy land and bible stories:



The third stop Wadi Zarka Maen:



We were warned to leave all valuable things in the buss, couse we will get wet. And when they meant wet – it actually was basically hiking in the water . It was a lot of fun. The whole journey was following a river with hot spring up the hill. The water was clean and about 30 degrees. After every once in a while we reached some small waterfalls or hot spring baths to swim in. after 6 hours and 17 km, we were all exhausted, but the nature was something I have never seen before and the experience was wonderful.
