Finally, back on-line to bring anyone who still interested up to date............. I think we were just about to leave Aqaba, Jordan via a ferry to Nuweiba, Egypt. We figured that the lunchtime fast ferry was the best option as the slow one left at midnight and attempting customs clearance at 3am was not something we really wanted. So once again we packed up the bikes and prepared for another border crossing, lets see how much money they want..........and mor...

So I headed through Amman and out the other side to Madaba and a small hotel I'd stayed in before. Just a short distance away, it poured down with rain !

OK ! So its been a while........but it's a busy life on the road, drinking, eating and of course riding! Last you heard we were on the ferry to Greece. Well, we arrived after meeting a few locals on the boat and some good recommendations, we decided to stop for a cup of coffee and a spot of breakfast - coffee and a apple pastry. Yes, Noel I will never mention your poor choice of coffee and 2 cherry patries again. Ed had heard about a town called Metsovo, it was...
