Syria

We travelled from Turkey into Syria…… It’s a lot grungier than Turkey but cool. The food is much better surprisingly. The highlight so far has been Palmyra and a ride through the desert in an old maroon 70’s Mercedes Benz.

Palmrya is out in the middle of the desert and is amazing. We first saw it at sunset and it was quite spectacular. The ruins are huge and really well preserved; it would have been a vast city in its hay-day. We nearly had our heads bitten off by a crazy camel-come-dragon, and Sam was charged by a lizard. Its very hot here….. 48 degrees the other day.
