Global politik means that some of the world's best gems are little seen, and little known. Syria is one of these. It hosts the worlds two oldest cities - Damascus and Aleppo - vying for the title at around 6,000 years of continuous history apiece, with all the architectural, archaeological and cultural implications of such ancientness easy to see. It holds some of the best classical ruins: the red desert city of Palmyra is a true beauty. And there's more : hundreds of 'dead' cities from different times over the last 2,000 years, and some fantastic crusader built castles.
But more than that, the people are as warm as anywhere you could imagine and will go out of their way to welcome you and help you. The vibe of the souks is all the more intense because tourists are so thin on the ground. You can stop for a street snack or a fresh squeezed juice, or hand out in a fragrant coffee house, puffing on a waterpipe. And if it all gets too much, retreat a traditional baths and luxuriate.

Very early
in the morning it is time to get up and get ready to leave for Syria. It'll be
a long day of driving and boarder crossing hence an early start is needed :( I
don't feel really well rested after a maximum of two hours of sleep. But I
don't have any signs of a hangover - when I try to make it to my feet's an walk
to the bathroom I soon realize why I'm still drunk from the night before. I
looked like it would be a very long day.
But being
drunk turned out to be an ...
