... and another week is over with friends from back home!
"Tribute to peace" is this statue called. It is almost 5,000 tones heavy and it is in the city of Yarze, north of Beirut. The statue is outside the Ministry of Defense. And is packed with real military hardware - real tanks, - real artillery pieces and - real mortars. It is on military area and normally it is not allowed to go there or even take pictures. But thanks to a friendly and german speaking soldier we could convince him to take us there. He accompanied us through the entire time and explained what the statue stands for.
After Yarze we went to Jeita a city approx. 18 kilometers north of Beirut.
The Grotto consists of two separate but interconnected caves of karstic limestone and is almost 9 kilometers in length. We took a ski-lift up and went to the upper cave after that you get picked up by a little train, to finally go to the lower part of the cave, which can only be visited by small boats.
We took a taxi for 60 US Dollars for our destination to Yarze, Jeita and back to Raouche. We paid for the entrance additionally 18,500 LBP per person (approx. 10€). (Unfortunately it is not allowed to take pictures in the caves!)
Thanks guys for having another unforgettable week!
