Well I'm hoping it will be...

 

This is all on the assumption that my flights go according to plan, that my visa gets me in, that my ticket will be where it's supposed to be, that I can actually find where that is in Beirut (using my map which is in Arabic which I must remember to read from right to left and not left to right), that I can fathom out a transport system which has no bus schedules and apparently no bus stops, and get myself to the middle of nowhere for the gig - and back again in the middle of the night! Oh how I like an adventure :biggrin2:

 

U're brave Enigma :thumb_yello: Wishing u lot's of fun! Can't wait for your report and pics:wink2:

Hey guys, I am here in Beirut, have managed to collect my gig ticket and book bus to and from Baalbeck.! I'm SO looking forward to this, even though I'm quite knackered already! Have walked MILES today! Just had a meal which cost 30,000 pounds. You'll be glad to know that's Lebanese pounds!

 

I will do my best to report after gig tomorrow but I don't know if I'll have mobile coverage out at Baalbeck and I think my bus won't get back into Beirut till the early hours, and then drops me nowhere near hotel!

 

The blurb I got with the ticket says no bags allowed at concert - they must be checked in to a bag deposit place. And no cameras or mobiles! Eek.

 

Probably won't be able to wait and say hello to Mika and the others at the end, otherwise my bus will go without me, and I don't really want to get stranded in Baalbeck on my own!

 

Right, off to bed now, important day tomorrow! Insert smily here.... Except they are not coming up on my phone, so I can't!!!

I think they are VERY security concious there, and last time Racha said as soon as the show ended, he was whisked away, no M&Gs after anyway.

But I hope you have a brilliant time tomorrow, shame you won't be able to get pics of the venue, it looks tremendously beautiful!

It's a fantastic venue but not very "pop" and "dance" friendly.. all the tickets are seated and usually the crowd and artists are more classical and jazzy.. mika will bring down the house..

I saw sting there a while back and it was FANTASTIC!

Good you got there safe...

Thank you both, have fun...

Thank you!

 

Yay Racha is on the scene too.

 

Is he hanging out by the pool again?

 

Have fun ladies! Promises to be a special night.

We are not sharing the same hotel this trip :roftl: so no swimming pool encounters :biggrin2:

Thanks for the wishes, am sure it will be great

 

Oh this is excellent, having 2 reporters on the ground

Racha nice to see you back, we were wondering if you'd be there....should we have ever doubted you???

You know better by now :naughty:

Mika + Lebanon = 100% will be there

 

Have great time there, girls!

Can't wait for reports!

 

will be coming back really late at night as I have to go back to Beirut (it's almost an hour and a half drive in very mountainous areas... so my report will be a little late.. but those who have me on twitter will be updated if I see something interesting to report on the spot:thumb_yello:
