When did you go to Syria ? It was next on my list in 2011. I was in Jordan in October 2011 and you could still do short trips to Damascus but I didn't go.fazur wrote: ↑Fri May 22, 2020 4:56 am Russia, Mauritius, Reunion, Madagascar, Seychelles, Denmark, Sweden, Iceland, Greenland, Ireland, France, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Greece, Bulgaria, Afghanistan, Chile, Brazil, Argentina, Syria, Oman, Lebanon, Qatar, Dubai, Vietnam, Thailand, Myanmar, Sri Lanka, India,Tahiti

How were Madagascar and Iceland ? (both been in my list but never made it)
Did you enjoy Lebanon ? I thought Beirut was an awesome city. Went for the weekend and stayed a month.
Re: Where you been ?
Syria just before they started trying to get rid of the boss man and refused russian peace plan for assad to step aside

Lebanon not so much, very tense when i was there

Re: Where you been ?
Yeah I think that's what put me off Madagascar. There seemed to be a huge amount of travelling involved to get to what looked like the 'decent' places.fazur wrote: ↑Fri May 22, 2020 5:10 am Syria just before they started trying to get rid of the boss man and refused russian peace plan for assad to step aside

Shame about Lebanon. I was there in around 2015 and it was great. I guess that's travelling though.
I went very close to the Syria border in Lebanon in 2015 and Turkey in 2017. Spent 2 weeks going from Antakya to Mardin in SE Turkey. I hate what the Turks do in Syria, but that was an awesome trip (mind you most of the people round there can't stand them either ). Saw 1 other backpacker in 2 weeks.
The Russian peace plan was about 2013 wasn't it ?? Glad they've got things largely back under control. One of the best things I've ever read on the news when they lifted the siege of Dier Ez Zour. Going to be tough for that country to get back on its feet though.

I'm sceptical, if you don't mind me saying.

I did the majority of my traveling in the 70-90's
Been from Canada south to Panama, 5-6 countries in the Caribbean, all over Europe, the middle east, north Africa, east Africa as far south as Tanzania, overland between turkey and Calcutta, China, Tibet, Nepal
from Thailand to Australia and a few south pacific islands
Just not as adventurous as I once was
Your choice to believe me or not...
