Amman
The last cycling day. For a start it's again down-falling to the Dead Sea, this time to the Israelian part of it. It took me 45 minutes to go down the road which took 3.5 hours going up. I crossed the border in half an hour: all that Israelis were interested this time was that I pay the exit tax.I had a lunch before proceeding up to Amman. A long gradual climb of 30 km wouldn't be so hard if it weren't for the wind. The gusts of it moved me all over the road.
Amman is a metropolis with heavy traffic. I managed to get to an excellent hotel untouched by cars, buses or trucks. In all it was an exciting end of a great tour.Day 13: 96km. Total 1051km.

Hola Gonzalo!
I have mixed feelings about CrazyGuy. It's better suited for cycling blogs, but the esthetic of that site is not to my liking. I think I have more control here on blogspot. Beside that this was a short tour and I somehow thought it's not worth the inclusion in CrazyGuy.
Have you now dumped the bivvy and how much do the hotels cost on average?
regards. Jim
Hi Jim, sory for the late answer. I paid from 12 to 30 Eur for a room, on the whole trip I spent 30 Eur/day.
More info on this tour in my old webpage:

I'm deciding between a bivy bag and a tent for my next tour in France.
If you go for a bivy bag make sure it is breathable material because otherwise you'll have some serious condensation issues.
