Waking up in a hotel in Damascus the situation had sunk in and the morning was spent on the phone and planning a revised trip. The plan evolved to continue the drive round the Med to Bulgaria where we could leave the Land Rover with the Thorpes (Ex Dragon Caving Gear). After catching a train to Istanbul we would fly into Beirut for a shorter time. After a few phone calls to Dial-a-flight in England we had two return flights from Istanbul to Beirut.
We also found that the Land Rover had a flat tyre after picking up a nail somewhere. Whilst pumping it back up to see if it would drive to a repair place (and save us swapping a tyre) a helpful local Land Rover owner came over for a chat (with good English) and proceeded to pump the tyre up for us!
With no more planning to do at present, we walked into the old town to look round the souks. In the evening we had another visit to the Wifi hotel to catch up on emails.
