6AM I woke everyone up to leave at 6:30AM. We got too close to the border and stopped for gas. Nena stopped to get cash from the ATM. However, the ATM machine ate her card and we waited until 8:05AM when the bank opened. We couldn't get it back as they were contacting their back office. We decided to move on. However, we arrived at the border late at 10AM and spent the next hour waiting for the visa. Apparently, that delay was costly because we arrived during shift change.
12PM We arrived at Damascus where we met the guide at the hotel. We had some street food.
2PM We went to the Al-Hamidiyeh Souq and had an ice cream at the oldest ice cream shop here. It had a strange texture.
4PM We visited the Azem Palace. We then visited the Umayyad Mosque.
6PM We then visited Asaad Basha Caravanserai. We then went to get a local beer. We had dinner had Gemini Restaurant. The lamb bread appetizer was good. We got back to the hotel at around midnight.
