The morning after Tel Aviv and the misfortunes Phillip and I drove up north stopping at few places along the way. To be honest I can’t remember most of the names but we stayed in Tiberias by the lake. It’s very close to the Syrian border so we decided to take a visit. On the way up you can see all of the mine sites on the side of the road. We got to a site up the top where you can view Syria and you can explore the bomb sites and areas where they once fought each other. There were heaps of puddles underground and my feet got soaked – I’m not to sure if you’re actually allowed down there because we didn’t see anyone else go down and the state of it was pretty awful.
We then drove to the actual border, where you can see the actual ‘fence’ dividing the countries. It was pretty uneventful to be honest, we saw heaps of UN and army people but they weren’t doing that much. After that we drove back to Tel Aviv where I hopped straight on a bus back to Jerusalem. After a couple of days I crossed the border back to Jordan because that is where I was flying out from to Dar es Salaam. I did literally nothing in my day in Amman because I’d already been there and I was hungover. Slept. Ate. Flew out.
