  Amman, Amman, Jordan
Thursday, April 7, 2011

Well I have been gone just over seven months, and out of perhaps boredom or rather to bring back some fond memories, here is everyone I have met along the way coming one way or the other, going some place or another. I have tried to avoid the actual owners of places I have stayed and kept it to travellers but a couple have been thrown in regardless. I have forgotten the names or one or two and I know there are also people I have just plain forgotten all together and to those I can only apologise. Ok, cheer when your name flashes past!
