Oxford

We enjoyed a few short days in Oxford after visiting Jordan and Syria A highlight was riding on Thomas the Train with Bryn and Ellis to see Father Christmas.

Middle East

What a wonderful array of sights we found in the Middle East: the rose red rock dwellings and tombs of Petra, Crusader and defending Islamic castles and fortresses, the Euphrates river and the Cradle of Civilization, Greek and Roman engineering masterpieces. We were able to share all of these and more with a wonderful group of travelling companions.
