Last Saturday I went on a pretty intense bike ride in the
desert. Was it long? Yes. Was it bumpy? Very. Was it fun? Absolutely. We drove
about an hour and a half outside of Jordan and cycled for out two hours. From a
previous description of this trip I was under the impression that we would be
cycling to different castles around Jordan. In reality, we started of by seeing
what used to be a hideout for kings. A place they used to go to in order to
hunt, bathe and simply just get away. From there we grabbed a bike and cycled
through the bumpy desert. There was not much to see out there but it was very
nice to go outside the city limits into fresh air. After our bike ride we had a
great lunch, which included chicken, rice, Greek salad and of course tea. And
before heading back to Jordan we visited a wetland museum and the one castle on
the itinerary.
Despite my misinterpretation of the castles we were visiting
the weather and cycling with friends made it a very enjoyable day.
TIPS: When going on a Desert Castles Cycling trip, do not expect to see many castles. Take a juice box for the road and wear your helmet.
Word of the Day: har --> hot
