We booked a nice package for New Year celebrations. The bus took us first to Aqaba where we boarded a fair sized boat for a short cruise around Aqaba Bay in the Red Sea. We came quite close to two ships that have intrigued me for years. They are seemingly permanently anchored there.
A water slide on a boat...a very interesting idea!
First time at sea and already Zeek has that 12-mile stare...
The dancing begins...
A group of boys from Yemen who travelled with us. They were a fun-loving group!
The view coming back into port is dominated by what was once the largest flag in the world. The King himself had it made and installed here.
And of course you know that no matter where I go I will have to order up argilleh for smoking...
Dancing the night away before the old year ends

Ooookay...I think I'm pretty much done in. Back in the bus on the way home.
