Wadi Rum, Jordan - March 2014

 Stayed in a Bedouin tent in the desert of Wadi Rum. This is where either Peter O'Toole drove the Turks out of the region (British version of history) or the Arabs drove the Turks out of the area (everybody else's version)

Fantastic scenery but not a cat in sight. Or a tree...

Petra, Jordan - March 2014

 This is the ancient city of Petra, one of the new seven wonders of the world.

 Rocks, rocks, rocks, rocks and rocks

 Petra rocks!

 Frankly, it was so hot, I was knackered by the end of it...

The Dead Sea, Jordan - March 2014

 Laying a claim to be the lowest spotted dog on earth. Here I am at 426 meters below sea level on the Jordan side of the Dead Sea. I was warned not to go in as the 30% salt content could seriously damage me

Aqaba, Jordan - March 2014

Relaxing in a five star hotel on the shores of the Red Sea. This is the life!

And then messing about in the hotel lobby...
