November 6th, 2023 Apamea, Syria

7AM We assembled to leave but Rad and Charlie weren't present. We found later that they were all at the hospital because she had to treat her asthma overnight.

7:30AM We left for Apamea. We arrived around 9:30AM and spent the next hour and a half here. The Greek Columns were quite well preserved and the Great Colonnade Is 1.8 kilometers long.




1PM We left and arrived near Homs where we said goodbye to our tour guide Ahmad Akhalaf. We then headed to Damascus before heading west to Beirut.

5PM We crossed the border without issues.

6:30PM We were delayed about half an hour to arrive at the airport. We still managed to get in quickly given the small size of the airport. We spent the next 45 minutes in the lounge. I let Nena get in and then we left to board.

9PM The flight left 15 minutes early and it was only a 25-minute flight. We rented a car to go to dinner at Agios Georgios Alamanou Restaurant. Unfortunately, they closed about half an hour before I arrived. We went back to Lordos Hotel and slept just after midnight.
