On the boarder of chaos

We’ve just sat down on the computer after seeing a bunch of stuff in Arabic that we have no idea about. Yes, we a pretty close to all the stuff going on in Lebanon but we are ok and I’m sure we will remain to be ok. We’ll touch base as much as poss in the next 2 weeks of this tour. We meet our tour leader tonight so we'll know more then I’m sure. He’s a local guide which will be good!
As for our holiday....
We went on the Aussie pilgrimage to Gallipoli. It took 5 hours to get there and then 4 hours to see the whole place and then 5 hours back. Was a BIG day but worth it. Lachie really appreciated going. I appreciated all the cool stones on the beach...hehe.
The next morning at 4:30am we got a taxi to the airport and flew down the bottom of Turkey to Dalaman and then transferred to Fethyie where we sailed out for 3 1/2 blissful days of swimming, eating, sleeping, drinking, swimming, chilling, tanning, swimming and more swimming. The colour of the water is so deep, gorgeous aqua, turquoise. Warm. Very salty. We swam in a pirates cave. Jumped off a 4 storey cliff at the blue lagoon (I bruised my tailbone like you wouldn't believe but DID IT anyhow!) this is where that blue lagoon movie with Brooke Shields was filmed. We went to a 'disco' which consisted of a hut in the middle of nowhere and a dj. That was lots of fun.
And now...we are in Damascus-Syria. We finally made it to our hotel at 4:30am. Right now we are in the 'old city' which is 2000years old. Very quaint winding little passage ways everywhere. Very dusty and very hot. A dry heat though.
We head out of this city tomorrow. Not sure when we'll be in contact again...
