Our Happy Place

One of the things that we have found to do here in Amman during Ramadan is to visit the inner city hotels and make the most of their resort style facilities, although this does come at a cost.  Recently we visited the Crown Plaza for the day which read something like a Mastercard commercial:

  • Entry fee to use the pool all day = 66 JOD ($100 AUD)
  • Cost of lunch by the pool = 41 JOD ($63 AUD)
  • Cost of feeling normal for the day = PRICELESS!
Take me to my happy place!

You meet all sorts at the pool - a Belgian Canadian who bailed me up for about 20 minutes

Having a waterproof camera makes being at the pool a lot more fun
Being able to find some creature comforts from home also helps to make life a little easier.
A little Cadbury's can make you do strange things - love it!

The kids were over the moon that we could buy Weet-Bix here in Amman!
