Today was the archeological wonders of Madaba. Bus loads of Europeans decented on the town...Italians ignoring dress protocols as ever.
We managed to go to places either before or were to difficult for them ie narrow climbing stairs up towers or long walks in 35C. See some unusual sights. Nothing is off limits.
Stunning mosaics from the 6th century built on top of previous civilisations.
The local mosque...one has to be careful not to be run down at the call to prayers as cars arrive at pace and oark haphazardly.
From the top of the church a view of Madaba
Then coup de gras was purchasing Jordan carpet weave and a boudian carpet from 76 yr old Ziad
