Its good to be in Lattakia (a general day of tourism and gluttony)

---

Ahhh today was probably the first full day off the bikes since we started. And it did feel good. The legs appreciated it, the butt appreciated it, and the gut loved it!

Started the day with a bit of a lay in and some BBC World action. But theres a city awaiting to be explored. After a couple of schewarmas and four or five 10c espressos we parked our caffinated hides into a serivs bus (really a van with a few extra seats in it). And at speeds barely short of the sound barrier we hammered it to Qala'at Saladin - an old crusader castle spectaculrly set on a forested ridge that drops away to almost shear cliffs.

Great little castle that one.

Then went back to Lattakia and ate some more.
Mmmmmm food.

Schewarma count for the day: 7
Fellaffal count: 5
