Another big day. Firstly south and up into the mountains to Jezzine, a summer resort and tourist destination for South Lebanon. There is also a waterfall but in early autumn it was more of a trickle. I then Googled the place and it is also famous for the Battle of Jezzine which, "in 1941 was part of the Australian Army 7th Divisions advance on Beirut during the five week long Syria-Lebanon campaign by the Allies against Vichy French forces."
After lunch and onto Tyre (Sour) to check out some ruins including its Roman Hippodrome.
At Tyre we saw a road sign '43km Palestine'. What a pity we could not travel on down to Israel for dinner in Haifi. I hope one day the security situation will alow the Levant to have open borders.
Then back to Beirut for me and north of Tripoli for Zac and his 500 km round trip!
