Aqaba

Thursday was a restful day spent in Aqaba, Jordan.  We wondered around checking out the beach and the town.  We hired a guy with a glass bottom boat to take us out in the water to check the coral in the Bay of Aqaba.  Across the bay we were able to see Egypt and Israel and about 25 kms further down the bay would be Saudi Arabia.  Not sure what it is about boats and gas but here we were once again needing to get some gas before we carried on.  A very enjoyable hour spent on the water.  We found this town was very friendly.  They are also a duty free town because they are so close to the border and the government is trying to get people to go to Aqaba.  Jordanian people are very welcoming so was a nice place to spend some time there.
