Road Trip - The laundry ; Scheme is from Thursday is still not completely dry (it rains constantly and it is wet-cold), so I hung up in the car. I said goodbye to the British and drove via Homs to Tartus.

There I made lunch on the beach promenade and off we went to Latakia on the Syrian-Turkish border. It began to rain down with rain so I ran from office to office. For Carnetabstempeln I had to pay £ 100 S (42 Syrian pounds are about one-CHF). The departure tax is 500 plus 50 S £ S £ processing fee. After briefly met Wait my father on Turkish border posts, and brought me my new green card. So I could close it after more than 15 months duration in his arms again. He drove with his sprinter Womo to meet here, now we go home together. So quickly register the car in the passport and get the immigration stamp and then we went in the mini convoy to the "Orient Camping" in Konacik. After eight hours of actual driving time, I was quite ko. Jürg cooked hash browns and tomato salad and for something (longer) we were chatting in bed dead tired.

Closed - After a leisurely breakfast we drove to Iskenderun in the city and searched an Internet cafe and a money exchange office. Here in Turkey, the Sunday is back as a "Sunday" (and not Friday, as in other Muslim countries) and therefore are the most close. At a kiosk, I was the remaining £ S but still going. The internet cafe was very crowded and the space adjacent said that the lines were so slow. So I could upload the blog articles from Jordan and Syria have not. It was the mail . Read Later we drove back to the campsite, chatted, looked at photos and read. Evening gabs sausage / cheese salad and we watched another movie.

term is risen and we have packed together. The camp field was completely soaked by the rain so we had to Jürg Sprinter with a sand sheet and a strong push to bring the pitch. It now has deep grooves in the place ... We drove through Iskenderun, Adana, Nigde to Cappadocia and stand here in the "Kaya-camping" in Goreme. For dinner gabs Älplermaccronen and tomato / onion salad. Jürg gave me a small electric heater and a cable reel. This evening the cold is bearable here really well.

I've set the table leg Nebens bed so that I could now turn on the heater morning without crawling out of the sleeping bag. The internal temperature rose from eight to 15 degrees, J. In the morning I have washed and removed the canisters from the car (which are empty and are now in father's Womo-hold). Later we walked through the Red Canyon Cavusin. There we took the bus to Göreme, where we shopped and had drinks in a Cafe. Finally we went back to the three km to the campsite.

The laundry is almost dry (it is sunny and winds strong). In the evening I make potato salad and something we sit on the laptop (now is the wireless).

frozen That night hats. The puddles are covered with ice. We are the west bank of the Drove north along the lake. A wonderful course. On the way we have bought at a farmers market vegetables and eaten later in Egirdir lunch. From there we continued west to Pamukkale. Here we take a look tomorrow at the sinter terraces. We are in Karahayit in the "Kurhaus Arslan Camping. The owner just filled the indoor pool with thermal water (comes with more than 50 degrees from the floor). The pool (4x3 meters) with toilet and shower in a cabin, of which it has four. A large bathroom sooo I've never had ... I enjoyed the bathroom all to myself, Jürg was too late after the "movie night" (we watched a movie on the laptop).

It rained again something in the night and it is quite windy. We took my car to the north entrance of Hierapolis and Pamukkale, and then strolled around for a while in there. So great had the pictures look like I was not there. Perhaps because of the bad weather (although it was sunny in between), or because so little water. Later we were in a cafe and then have read in the Sprinter. Then There Were sausages for supper with onion sauce with rice and Tomato salad.

We wanted to see on the tour today, the Mendes-flow (Meandros). Of the meander is the name. So we took a little detour. We have not seen much of the river, but it was a nice track just off the main road. On the highway we went further to Izmir to Bergama. Here we stand on the "Caravan Camping". Which is quite expensive. So we leave tomorrow on the same. After all, hats a washing machine, I can once again wash well.

We woke up this cozy and driven to the border crossing from Ar Ramtha. The departure was simple (after I had found someone who wanted the Carnet section ...). For entry to Syria should get the visa in their home country, and therefore we were not so sure of our cause. Immigration greeted us in the building of a high official but friendly and instructed his subordinates to issue us the required visas. We had to fill out two forms, pay the bank money (German have 12 JD, Switzerland 40 JD) and a little patience. Then we were each given a 15 daily tourist visas. Then, still stamped Carnet, take out insurance (32 JD), pay something like Roadtax (8JD) and the famous $ 100 Diesel tax (per week). That's all in the same office as the bank. The "tug" that would help us constantly, we did nothing ... then we could comfortably go to Damascus and the new location of the search "Camping Kaboun. He's pretty well hidden, so here are the coordinates: N33 33 171 20 794 E36. We had the coordinates from the ship of the desert forum. A great information source!

Today we drove via Homs to the "Krak des Cevalliers. Since a Landy stood in front of England, James and Polyanna ( www.sandbagstosanddunes.com ) belongs. It was a bit late for a visit, so we just walked once around the castle and installed us in the camp of the restaurant "Le Table Ronde" directly run next to the castle. James and Polyanna arrived too. You are on the way to Cape Town and wanted to know much. We sat about a long time in the cold outside and chatted.

morning we were in Krak and afternoon we went back to Damascus. Krak is currently being filmed in a movie, therefore it is built on scenes and extras standing around. The English make a detour to Palmyra and then come to Damascus on Friday. Then it was called again to make clothes ...

After we washed in the morning, we took a taxi into town. We walked a while in the old town through the souks and when it started to rain, we sat in a cafe. Later we checked mail in an internet cafe and tried to ATMs. Gabs with my card but no money and so we had a restaurant, which accepts the Visa card. And so we ended up in the "Naranj. It was a sumptuous farewell dinner. The pastries at the end we could not even eat, so we were tired. Because the rain was not dry our laundry and we hung overnight to the bathroom.

The morning was packed with fast cars and clean up past and it was soon time to the airport to drive. There, we drank some tea and then Xenia had been to the check-in. Is in a hall where the escorts are not allowed. So we had to say goodbye already. Xenia is now flying to Cairo and begin on 1 March in the "German University in Cairo" to the line of book binding. We will hopefully see at Easter and again ... then I drove into town and rattled ATM's from. Nobody gave me money, so I went to a currency exchange desk, where I got money on the Master Card. Of course, with horrendous Commission. Back at the campsite, I met James and Polyanna and we chatted again for long. So I could distract me somewhat from the pain of parting. Tomorrow I will now go to Turkey and see when I meet my father, I want to drive up to the Syrian border against.

the alarm went at seven today. We wanted enough time for departure procedures at the port. So's breakfast pack up, shower and off to the Ticket Office. We paid U.S. $ 250 U.S. for the car and the $ 70 for us. Then we went into the harbor, where we were after something foraging by a young policeman "off duty" taken under the wing. He led us to the Immigration, Custom, Traffic Police, and so, where he helped even an English Päärchen, which had just come from Jordan, and thus keeps disappearing for some time. Meanwhile, we had a lot to chat with the English. When all was done (approximately by 12 clock), we asked ourselves before the ferry and waited and waited and waited ...

At a quarter past three we were the last to the car between the trucks and buses and are looking for a place on the ship. Since we were the last people there were not any seats left and we sat down to many others on the ground. The ship was once a Danish ferry and has many cabins to sleep. Since the trip is to last only 3 hours, the course just like cinema, restaurants and lounges. But hundreds of passengers were on deck sitting on the ground ... So completely the wrong ship for this route. On the boat, we gave up our passports for Jordanian visas, we should then get back in Aqaba. At a quarter past eight we were still in Aqaba and could go through the Jordanian border procedures. Initial visual inspection of the car from the outside, X-ray then car, then open and expand. Fortunately we did not have to overcome. After the customs building for car insurance. When I transferred money for the insurance (costs 80 Jordanian dinar = 80 €), a border guard came with the passports. Visa is in there and still free, super. Then for any street License 25 JD and we could leave the port. We had a couple of waypoints for camps in the south of the city, so we went to the first time. Since there are 4 mobile homes, travel truck and a bush taxi (79-er with Tour Factory cabin) on the beach. So we have to eat made us dinner and at midnight we were in bed ...

Today we have only times with Klaus and Willie (the Toyobesatzung) talked. Then we went to the shop to Aqaba, read mail and eat's breakfast / lunch. Back on the beach, we talked again with the other passengers sitting around and are lazy. It is very warm here. In the sun it can hardly endure. The heat we can use in the next few days, it is then surely a little cooler when we drive further north. In the evening we are Donald and Nathan (with Landy) and Kalle? (Bush taxi with Löffler roof) came. They are on their way south. With them, we sat together at the campfire. Then came yet Walter (a Swiss Renault Master) to do so. His load is apparently shorter: After he gave away the caravan to Syria, now lacks the motorcycle that was at the rear. He tried to get rid of everything ...

After breakfast we said goodbye to the other and are to Aqaba in the Internet cafe to check emails . Xenia's Flight is now at 26.02. from Damascus to Cairo. At noon we went until the Wadi Rum. We bush camp wiedermal in the desert. Fantastic.

Wednesday, 17/02/2010, 178 km

All morning we are today herumgekurvt in the wadi. We got through it without deflating everywhere (ok, sometimes we needed three attempts to cross a dune). Many dunes hats but not just a couple of soft sands, which are connected to the bush taxi is no problem. Afternoon, we met Walter and two other camping cars, they have taken refuge from the mosquitoes in Aqaba. As it gets warmer in the past few days, there's now a lot of it ... we went to went to Petra, where we for 5 JD (ca. 5 €) in the parking lot the "Visitor Centre can stand. " Here we met a French motorcyclist who was traveling around the world.

Thursday, 02/18/2010

We are very early (alarm clock went up 5) purely in the ruined city of Petra to the crowds of visitors to come before. This has really paid off. For, as we clock out at 12 went against us were hordes of tourists. Afternoon we drove to the Hotel Al Anbat 1 ". Here we made clothes and enjoyed the hot shower.

Friday, 02/19/2010, 294 km

And again we are early in and out to lunch again. Today we have a tour to the high place of sacrifice made. At noon we went north of King Street followed. In Karak, we are then bent and are going down to the Dead Sea. So we have reached the lowest point of our trip: -391 meters above sea level. Unfortunately, Friday and all the beaches are overcrowded. In addition, Xenia and I have a headache (maybe from all the up and down ride and it was constantly between 800 and 1600 meters above sea level and down), so we do not swim in the sea again and headed straight on to Amman. The "Theodor Schneller School" we reached after dark. Here we can use is available at the Guest House and the free Wifi. Heiner and Susan are from Munich, with its 207 MB here.

the morning we have cleaned windows, filled greased and water. Then quickly retrieved mail (Xenia's e-ticket is finally here) and the Safeway supermarket bought. From there we went in a roundabout way (the GPS maps I have are somewhat inaccurate) to Jerash. Here we are at the "Olive Branch Resort (very expensive: 8 € p / p plus tax) and go tomorrow look at the Roman ruins.

Sunday, 02/21/2010

The weather today is not that great (cloudy), but this is very good look at the ruins. During the day the sun is actually even out somewhat. We walk half the day marvel at the ancient Roman city, while a group of OL-runner. That make a OL in the middle. In the evening comes to wind and it is cold outside. So we sit containing inside, surf (free Wifi) and read. Because of the strong wind I go to bed put in front of the car. Tomorrow we will go to Damascus. We'll see if it works with the visas at the border.
