It was 37° Celsius at 5pm in Amman today & it's supposed to get warmer later in the week. It's about 10 degrees warmer in the Dead Sea. Extreme heatwave for end of August. Was in the sun maybe 15 minutes and I'm feeling a mild heat/sun stroke! Climate change is going to boil us.

And then there is this one:
Will miss Geneva, it really does seem nice to love in, lots of hikes everywhere, great transit, great views, nice temperatures when not in a heatwave, but... Pricey and not technically EU. Either way next leg of the trip will be in Amman, Jordan.
