Making my way to Syria as a Christian?!?

Friday the 3th of August

The last time I updated this blog was on the 31st of July when I was waiting for my visa for Syria. (At the moment I'm already in Syria but you will read about that in my next post, first one about my way to Syria)
Around 15:00 o'clock I went back to the Syrian consulate and got my passport back with......A syrian visa, yeeahhhaa. A few hours earlier I had small issue with my application form. I filled it in with all my details. But with the question 'religion?'... I stated 'No Religion' because as many as you know Joost is a Pegan, the woman behind the counter said to me 'No you can't fill in No Religion!' So at the moment I thought well.. what shall I write down Atheist/Pegan or a religion, in a haste I just wrote down Christian and a few hours later I got my visa, but it doesn't say what religion I have. I think they just want to be sure that I'm not a jew.
That day I chilled out some more on the roof terrace of my hostel and said goodbye to Alex the funny dude from Wales I have been hanging out with the last couple of days and had a big laugh with about a guy snorring in our dorm and another guy slapping him with a towel.
Jumped on a minibus to the busstation and then a big bus to Antalya (the big tourist place allot of dutch travel agencies promote) and then on a minibus to Olympos. After a journey of 13 hours I arrived in a beautifull valley of some sort with beautifull canyons
and checked in in a sort of treehouse dorm with aircon.
The last 3 days spending my time chilling out on the beach with christal clear water, playing frisbee with a lebanese/canadian dude 'Fady' and chilling out with 2 americans Ben and Eilleen. And I can save some money aswell because breakfast and dinner is incl in the 20 lira (+/- 12 euro)
Saturday the 4th I left Turkey for my big journey through Syria and after 25 hours of travelling I arrived in Aleppo with 2 English brothers I think will spend some time with the next couple of days.
At the moment I'm in Hama and soon I will describe my time in Syria in another post and post some pictures aswell of my eating lamb testis;). By the way Syria is AMAZING!! Seriously.. forget everything what Bush says about Syria. The people here are so friendly and the country is beautifull. Ooh and I hope this story will be posted because I can't visit my blogspotsite to see because it is forbidden it says (maybe by the government orso or just the internet cafe) but I can type new posts... weird.
Ma'is salaama.
