After a few hours of driving we arrived at Palmyra. We drove past the ancient city to our hotel in the next village of Tadmor. After checking in, we walked to Palmyra and our guide gave us a walking tour.

02 Baghdad Cafe
We had a rest break at this little cafe in the middle of nowhere, the Baghdad Cafe. It was so not like any cafe I had been to back in Melbourne- the only thing on the menu was tea!
