... want to accidentaly trigger his tantrums. After we set off abit though the bus had some engine trouble and we transferred to another bus that was also on the way to Aleppo without too much trouble. <br>The landscape towards Aleppo was all desert and arid. We got into the city just before 12am and I was surprised to see alot of American made cars here like the Chevy, Ford and even the cadillac. There are also more taxis than cars. The traffic here is pretty bad too. Crossing a ...

... our own. Although it meant we ended up not seeing one of the dead cities, we decided to go it solo, and I think we made the right choice.<br><br>And then came lunch, a magnificent culinary affair at a restaurant halfway back down the hill. With a terrace overlooking the pomegranite orchards in the valley below, our view was only spoiled when we looked straight down at the massive pile of plastic bottles and trash directly below. The subpar sanitation in Syria is a motif ...

... him, I later came<br>to realise he meant suite and we were upgraded to the Royal Suite!!!!<br>This has never happened to me, and the room is the size of our<br>apartment in London furnished with the original furniture!<br>Anyhoo, back to the city itself. It is<br>a busy place, even the dust does not sit still! There is not much to<br>say about the new city, except that that it reminds me of a smaller<br>tidier Tehran, and has lots of parks. What is amazing is it claims to ...

... Shop owners as a result! Tuesday morning we set off bright and early for another long day through borders. We arrived at the Jordanian border at 9.05a.m. and fairly whizzed through there and finally got into Syria at 2.20p.m. The Customs man at the Syrian border, who helped Martin through the whole experience was actually very good and very helpful it just all takes lots of time.. and lots of money! We arrived in ...

... setmanes. Tal vegada sigui pel fet d'haver visitat primer Jordania. Alla el turista no pot realment desconnectar. Tot esta massa organitzat, i acabo recorrent el pais a contrarellotge d'unes runes a un desert a una immersio, sense temps per desconnectar mentalment. A mes, el contacte amb el poble jorda es minim i aixo li dona una sensacio encara mes gran d'estar enmig d'un viatge organitzat. Per sort a Aleppo sembla que la dinamica hagi comencat a canviar una ...

... a warren of laneways twisting and turning, and what better way to explore when you are lost and don't need to be found! One of our gang started talking to a lovely local, who wanted to take us around to various shops including soap shops and his jewellery shop. We met many locals, who had fun, not just trying to sell us their wares, but generally interested in us as travellers and our opinions on Syria.....it was of course a ...

... around the building having frantic conversations with a bunch of people before giving up and telling me I had to take my stuff of the bus and catch a different bus to Allepo once I got things sorted out. I suddenly found myself sitting on a curb in No Man's Land between Turkey and Syria with my suitcase, backpack and no clue where I was wondering how I was going to get out of this one. I saw a restaurant across the street and went over to see if they could front ...

... a eu cette vertu que l'on identifie facilement après coup. Oui mais Palmyre, pas aussi grandiose que ce qui devait être ! Alors l'on arrête de spéculer sur les raisons de, les éléments qui. Où l'on se remémore quelques uns des plus beaux épisodes de ce voyage arabe, d'autant plus formidable que j'y repense : le vélo à Louxor, le bordel du Caire, le déjeuner ...

... and jump on the bus a group of seven women arrive and start chatting with the driver. I would find out later that they were all Georgian and the discussion certainly heated up. It turns out they wanted to ride our bus after they sat down to a full breakfast followed by tea. And they let them since the bus was so empty. We all know how I enjoyed that! <br><br>Finally rolling by 9:15AM and made it to the border crossing without any real issue. We stopped 15 times to pick ...
