2006.05.16_Farewell Damascus







Before hiring a service taxi from Baramke Station, we wandered in the old city of Damascus one last time. We had some delicious vanilla ice-cream. A ice-cream cone was only about 15 cents USD. A large crowd of school children gathered around the vendor as we about to walk off.

At Baramke, we hired a taxi to make the trip to Amman of Jordan. We picked a driver in his fifties, who drove back and forth Amman and Damascus. He wore a full set of suit.

It didn't take us much time to go through the passport controls on both the Syrian and Jordanian sides. After 1.5 hour we finally arrived at downtown Amman. We checked at Sydney Hotel, dropped off our bags, and off we go to look for the famous Palestinian juice stands for a cup of refreshment. We had our first Jordanian dinner at Cairo Restaurant.
