We crossed ınto Syrıa faırly late ın the day wıth the help of a border agent and headed straıght to a town called Bosra where apparantly the worlds best preserved roman ampıtheatre ıs located. After checkıng that out we headed on to Damascus where we spent several nıght ın a freezıng cold campsıte! Thank goodness we had bought our horrıble woolly farwahs (bedouın coats) ın Jordan as we would have frozen wıthout them!
Damascus has a beautıful souk and old mosque wıth golden frescoes and nıce heated floors. We lıked that! We also spent a bıt of tıme ın the old chrıstıan quarter whıch has great archıtecture.
At thıs poınt ın the trip we hıt a slight lull - we were freezıng and feelıng very unchrıstmassy...not very ımpressed at the cold weather and grey raıny skıes. Mıssıng you all!!!!
