MOARRR...Beirut

Flying in to Beirut..it looked as large as NYC...SICK!
View from our hotel...The Gefinor Rotana...Nice place..Big up to my man Youssef.  He kept me watered down.....here...
Most of you have seen this picture...my second favorite one i think.

And Club B 018.  Underground club...Then they just pop the roof if it gets to hot...or close it if bullets are flyin..
And just a building full of bullet holes next to an amazing Lebanese Restaurant.
The link below will give you an idea of how messed up it got here from one day to the next  :

Our Hotel was about 5 miles straight north of the pictures on the website...BUT...The Holiday Inn was a very important building was about 5 blocks from our hotel.
RPG and Bullet holes everywhere.  From what we heard also we should not have been taking pictures of this place. 
You can see the Holiday Inn from our hotel as well.  Under large crane just to the right of the tallest building.


MOAR Tunisia

Where we stayed the first 2 nights.  Worst bed ever.

Our first class view!  There is a club down there that says Gentlemen Club.  Never really seen anyone walk in or our but it was loud as hell at night and strippers aint exactly tolerated in this gem of a city.

Roman ruins in Carthage which is about 30 kl maybe North of Tunis.  Beard was kickin at this point! Carthage seemed to be a town where they built large ships.  The next picture will show you where they launched them...
If you can see the close canal (not the large bay in the background) that used to be a fort of some kind to build and launch ships.


The Cafe....

The View....And....

The View...

MOARRR


Pretty sure I sat next to this dude at a pub in Amsterdam..no shit..
 Typical street in the evening (didnt get dark till like 11pm and light at 3am) in Amsterdam.  I think that is the Homomonument in the back ground.  It's a real place.
 Typical Amsterdam street...There are quite a few canals that run like an octagon around the city.

A view from Hotel Exchange in Amsterdam..Our first stay of the trip.  This street during the day is swamped with heads.


Our hotel room in Tunis, Tunisia Africa.  Quite possibly the worst bed I have EVER slept in.  Should have broke out the hammock this night!

A sunset in Beirut.  Funniest part of this evening was while we were standing on the pier a couple guys in a VW Golf started doing doughnuts in the middle of a main intersection.  Pretty damn entertaining!

My "Soul Brother" Alex.  We met Alex in a very funny way in Sousse, Tunisia.  This was the beach town I spoke about.  Very cool place.


Pretty much sums it all up in Cyprus.  I would like to thank Keo beer, Condor Airlines, (not you god...you're not real), The Greeks, The Turks, (more the Greek's...we didnt get to the Turk side) and most importantly the two hot chicks with their cans out on the beach that windy morning.

More pics to come...stay tuned.
