Jordan has been on ones bucket list for some time now, mainly to experience Petra and float in the Dead Sea. However, it has been pushed back due to the lack of wheelchair accessible transportation in the country. Granted, one could have explored in the manual wheelchair but if famous UNESCO sites such as Petra were to be rolled around, it had to be with Superbunny! Only last year did Alpha Bus and Limousine Co. make it possible to explore Jordan in an electric wheelchair.
After a 5 hour flight from London Luton, one touched down at Queen Alia International Airport. It is worth noting that baggage handlers will not release oversized baggage (such as Superbunny) until they have cross referenced the relevant information hence it’s handy to have your baggage receipt at the ready to make a quick getaway.
The driver met one at arrivals and walked us out to the wheelchair accessible vehicle that we will be using over the next week. It has to be said that said vehicle must be one of the most luxurious and spacious that Superbunny has ever rolled into. A rear lift makes for easy access and a set of tie down points are available enabling a wheelchair user to choose where to sit…
The vehicle also has ample space for luggage meaning that it was even possible to fit the manual wheelchair in without the need for folding.
Tomorrow, one is remaining at the hotel (Movenpick Dead Sea Resort) to take a dip in the famous Dead Sea courtesy of a private beach!
