JC and VI set off riding to Jordan via Damascus.
EP and MC went to find a section of the Lebanon Mountain Trail (a long distance hike that runs north/south across most of Lebanon). We drove to a small village east of Beirut where the (basic) guidebook shows the trail crossing.
After spending a long time driving around the village, looking in vain, we were stopped by a local (Elias) and we asked for some directions. He did not speak English and we got directions to the next village. He then invited us back to his house for coffee, so he jumped into our car and we headed off to his house in the village.
After coffee and apples we drove Elias to the next village before heding back towards Beirut - having given up on the trail! We found a river gorge and decided we would hike up this gorge instead.
