They are attending the Jordanian wedding on Wednesday/Thursday. They'll probably be going away for another "honeymoon" after that.

I think royals don't have some of the privileges of the common (you and me) folk. No "kicking back, think I'll go fishing now". Just ambassadors of the state, and hence in service every minute of every day to the needs of the nation. A terrible bother ... to keep polishing the image.

The Royal Yate (Fortuna) has left the winter harbor and is now on the harbor near to Marivent Royal Palace in Maiorca. It's probably that will be used by Felipe and Letizia It's also very likely that the couple will visit the Pope in Rome, just like the Kings and the infantas did on their honeymoon.

Hello! Magazine

Felipe and Letizia honeymoon in the lost city of Petra

After enjoying one of the most spectacular weddings of recent years, Spain's Crown Prince Felipe and Princess Letizia have been taking in one of the world's most breath-taking sights.

Looking happy and relaxed, the newlyweds left behind the formality of royal life during a honeymoon visit to Jordan's spectacular lost city of Petra. Felipe, who sported an open-necked shirt and a few days' stubble, gently held his new bride's hand as she leaned towards him intimately. Letizia was looking equally casual in a loose white shirt and stripey cotton trousers which were a world away from the sharp suits and Hollywood-style gowns she has been seen in recently.

Hidden away on the edges of the Wadi Rum desert, the ancient city is carved directly into the mountains. The lost civilization of the Nabateans carved temples, monasteries, homes and even a stadium into the hard sandstone. The complexity of the structures, which include roads and irrigation systems, is a tribute to the genius of its one-time inhabitants.

In its heyday, from 400 BC to 100 AD, Petra was home to around 30,000 people. Its location gave it control over the Arabian trade routes, and the city became an important commercial centre. But successive invasions and earthquakes took their toll and eventually it became a ghost town.

Thanks in part to its appearance in the film Indian Jones and The Last Crusade, Petra is once again attracting visitors. Those wanting to marvel at its beauty must travel through a 1.5-kilometre gorge, with 100-metre cliffs on each side, before arriving in the main square.

I figured as much. But with whenever I see any of the princes in a photo by themselves, I automatically start looking for their better halves :P

[Dennism]

Good choice. Petra is such a beautiful place. I hope they had a great time. The Wadi Rum desert was also in Lawrence of Arabia which is a much better film than Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.

apparently the king and queen of sweden and duchess maria teresa were also there.
