Well, I don't know where to begin from! First of all :
Sorry Ihsan , Ghalia, Dima, Reem, and in the first place, sorry Luma.
When I wrote about this trip, I didn't expect it will be exactly the same one I did about two years ago.
Oops! I told my self when we reached the place we wanted to start from, when I jumped out of the bus and looked around I realized that I was mistaken, I told them it's a medium trip, but in fact, it was the hardest one in my entire life. and now I'm do it again but this time with 4 beginners and the disaster is all of them were my friends.
I can't remember the trip well because of going up to the top of the earth, and then down to the bottom of it.
Trying to convince them how easy the hike in such mounts is, I was telling stories about how super power any human being can have if he wanted to, but deep inside, I was praying no one will fall in the middle of the road.
Actually we weren't the only hikers, we had a company, they even shared drinking water with us.
What makes this trip so special is that we didn't pass through any village, villages always looked so far away, to be more specific, civilization seemed to be so far away. (remember I'm saying this words in Syria!)
Finally we reached Bloudan, all of us wanted to go home, but Bisher -the leader- insisted to take us to a restaurant, going to the restaurant was like a punishment nobody wanted to there!
- Please don't take us to the restaurant!
We were shouting while walking like ducks in the town, most of people were staring at us; people come to Bloudan to GO to a restaurants..??
35, that's the real distance, and not 25 as I said. I couldn't believe my ears when I heard Louma telling me when going home: Thank you Am
- are you serious??
-yea, thanks we had so much fun.
-(thanks god…)

Yeah that’s right, thank you Amr, it was great unforgettable experiment that I wouldn’t have without YOU!!
A lot of philosophical words I can lecture now while I’m resting my legs in front of the monitor about the human hidden supper powers! But there… No way! Outta of place!
Not to mention that the last 5 KM I was almost walking (limping) in the front exactly with Khalo Bisher as he hold my hand like a five years old child dragging me forward! It doesn’t help that much but only the feeling that u r on the top plus no place for laziness…
But yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay, we did it all! We had great fun and I’m gonna buy new sneakers pair!
Thank you Amr again, u were all such a wonderful company.
P.S Check my Blog, you r gonna have an exam about it next time I see u.
You have no idea how much I wish I could drop everything here and fly to Syria to go hiking. I think that would just be so awesome. I love reading your blog because I can sort of hike vicariously through you! Thanks for posting pics. It really helps give me a sense of what I'm missing!
