Hama, Syria

Right, so thought Id make a blog as it seems to be a good thing to go along with travels.
At the moment we enjoying a leasurely stay in the Riad Hotel in Hama, Syria. For a mere 450 Syrian Pounds it offers on-suit bathroom, TV to watch BBC news in a very fuzzy way, cleanliness next to Allahliness, Roof Terrace for views and Laundry drying, and a well stocked Kitchen so we dont have to eat fallafal everyday! Nothing wrong with Fallafal, but well, Enough is Enough. Hama is a nice kind of town, all facilities you need, plus huge wooden water wheels that creek. Around the town you have more ancient attractions than you can shake a goat at. So far weve been to a huge remain of a Roman City (Alpamea) and a massive Crusader Castles (Crac de chavaliers) Not only are these places amazing to see but you have them pretty much to yourselves given the absense of Syria from most tourists "must go" lists. The people here are very friendly and hospitable, the prices compare well to the likes of India (we're on about $20 per day for the both of us) All told a great place to be. Whod have thought?
