Lebanon - I'm back!

30 Dec 2009 - 03 Jan 2010
New Years in Lebanon

New Years party in crazy Beirut .. Very recommendable.

View from Bay Rock and historic site in Beirut
But the country has so much more to offer, so after we came to our senses again, we departed for the north to the historical city of Byblos.

Byblos historical sites
After spending a beautiful warm winter afternoon wandering the sites of Byblos we had a nice lunch on one of the many excelent terraces overlooking the bay.

Faraya - Mzaar
End of the afternoon we visited Jetta-Grotto on the way up to Faraya. The main ski-area in Lebanon. Unfortunately there was not enough snow for skiing yet.
