Update - Hama, Syria


Today is one of our last days in Syria, we’re spending it in Hama. It’s a small town in the north of the county. There’s not much to see in the town, other than the waterwheel behind Roberto, James and Jussi, (l to r). Neverthless, the small towns like Hama are great to just wall around, checkout the markets, shops and restaurants, and observe Syrian life away for the typical tourist traps. In total, I’ve really enjoyed Syria, much to my surprise. It’s a beautiful county, things are cheap, the people are extremely friendly and helpful, and tourism hasn’t corrupted the country yet. You might want to consider it for your next vacation. :)

In a day or two we head back to Turkey. This time we’ll be visiting the eastern portion of the country. It’s supposed to be a lot different from than western Turkey. After eastern Turkey we’ll be visiting Iran from May 13th – 26th, then flying to Mumbai, India on May 27th.
