Hi Dad,

today we left Amman and drove south. First we visited the Mount Nebo, a mountain where – according to the Bible, the prophet Moses is believed to have died. We had a great view from the top.





There was a beautiful mosaic – normally in a church – but now in a tent.



Look – what a big stone – in memorial of Moses.



After having a great time on the hill – with really beautiful views, we drove to Madaba. The city is best known for its Byzantine and Umayyad mosaics, expecially a large Byzantine-era mosaic map of the Holy Land.

We went into the Greek Orthodox Basilica of Saint Georg, where the famous mosaic is.





Then we drove through a gorgeous landscape.



We stopped to look into the Wadi Mujib.





One hour later we came to Kerak, known for its famous Crusader Castle.



We visited it – it was wonderful – I would love to be a knight, I think.









In the evening we sat outside the room in the hotel and talked a lot. This time we ate my Snickers.





Greetings
