Bye bye Lebanon.....gonna miss you...and Hello Jordan.

As you have guessed this trip is very busy and we have a hard time keeping our blogg up to date, but today we have our first free morning.....so now I'm gonna try to tell you in short about our last day in Lebanon and our first day in Jordan.

22nd April....our last day in Lebanon. Our day started with sad farwells to our great host families Mr and Mrs Baalbakki and Mr and Mrs Gebran.

Me and Krisitn who lived with the Balbakis, in Baabdat up in the beautiful hills over Beirut, got a great tour of their garden and got to see all their flowers and animals....including their cock who had pleasently woken us up every morning for the last 5 days.

We then got a great tour of Solidiere, down town Beirut. We got the opportunity to explore the new marina, the new souks (traditional market place) and the magnificent restoredand rebuiled down town area of Beirut.

After a great lunch at the Military beach club hosted by RC Beirut Center, we got transfered to the airport by our lovely friend Kamal Katra, president of RC Metn. At the airport we also got to say our sad good byes to BSE coordinator Habib Saba before flying of for new adventures ín Jordan.

But we wont forget Lebanon that easy.....the culture, the people the landscape and the food is always gonna stay as pleasent memories in our minds. Thank you all for giving us 5 beautiful days in your amazing country.....we will soon be back for sure!

After a 45 min flight we arrived to Amman, Jordan, were we got picked up by the GSE coordinators. After transfer to our host families we spent the evning having dinner with the outgoing GSE team that's gonna go to Germany. We had a great evening and tried some excellent Jordanien food.

23rd April, Friday

This day will stay in our mind for a very long time.......we got to experience weightlessness by floating around in the beautiful Dead sea. An amazing feeling that I wish that everyone could try sometime.

Before our beach afternoon by the dead sea we also got the opportunity to visit Mababa, Mount Nibo (were Moses saw the promissed land) and Jesus Baptism Site.

After we washed of the healing mud in the dead sea and relaxed for a bit in the sun we continued up in the moutines to the Panorama restaurant for a sunset dinner over looking the Dead sea. I don't think I have ever seen a more beutiful sun set. So to sum it up, our visit to Jordan could not have begun in a better way.

.....just some minor info about y thoughts about Jordan..... I didn't know much at all about Jordan before...but guess if this country has surprised me. Amman is so beutiful with all its wite houses on the seven hills.....the climate is perfect, like a wonderful swedish summer, cold mornings warm days and chilly nights. The people we met are great and the food is awsome. The views and sceneries of the country is so wonderful even thogh I(Hanna) just got to see half of it. This because I been half blind the last three days due to an eye infection....but no worries I'm already better thanks to the great people both here in Jordan and in Lebanon that helped me deal with it.....thank you all.

Now it's time to continue mý free morning by catching up with the world....read some news for the first time in 1 week while running some km on the treadmill.

See you soon!
