Madaba









Just arrived in another rocky deserty camel place although the people seem more civilised. Camels the same.

Madaba is small town with convenient things and a mosaic that draws Christians to ooh and aah. Had a quick look myself. Very nice. Bits missing of course and it reminded me of going around a bathroom showroom. It's also close to the dead sea and Jerusalem. Jorden must be a good place to learn diplomacy when you're sandwiched between Israel, the West Bank, Syria and Iraq
