I arrived 24 hours ago and met by Zac at Beirut airport. Staying in Saifi Gardens a little hostel tucked away in the Gemmayze district in the heart of Beirit. After checking in we hit the streets.
Wandered down Rue Gouraud filled with cool little bars and found a place to eat then onto Martyrs Square to explore the Mohammed Al Amin mosque and what a chandelier!
Today we drove to Tripoli and a poke around North Lebanon and so it seemed did everyone else. Let me say that driving here is definitely not for the feint hearted. Decided against the whole iPhone thing and got a cheap cell and Lebanese number so now Zac and I can find each other when we get lost.
Bravely returned home by bus.
