A sleet shower five minutes before ruined my plans for the day. As all rental cars in the UK are equipped only with all-weather tyres and I only had a 2-wheel-drive, this climb towards Neist Point lighthouse was too much for my car. I had to turn around only 2km from the destination. The first of a few difficult or critical driving situations in Scotland. Luckily, two days later the road situation was better and I was able to see the lighthouse.

The man was working used tyres, from which was obtaining bags, vases, containers of a really robust and strange aspect. He was so peculiar that I had to halt and take some photos. This is the one I love the most.
There are amazing sand dunes in the Coorong National Park, they're steep, hard to climb and treacherous to descend. Tyre tracks in the sand are the only sign of a human presence. I needed to find my way back to the car park and didn't trust the tyre tracks, I couldn't tell which direction they were headed. They also showed a preference for climbing the steepest side of every sandhill.
I chose instead to follow a kangaroo's trail. It lead me out of the sandhills and into dense scrub. Surprise, surprise, kangaroos have little interest in car parks, and I lost the trail once I was out of the sand.

The enterprising farmer here has decided to put some old tractor tyres and a trailer to creative use. Why not create a little ad hoc sculpture in a paddock by the road? Now that surely adds to the landscape doesn't it?
A heap of old tired tyres huddled against the wall of an empty block, using some plastic orange safety mesh as a blanket.

A closeup of how well preserved the tyre is from the undercarriage of the RAF Canberra Jet which crashed on t-Sagairt Mor in 1956.
We're having to climb t-Sagairt Mor to reach Carn a'Choire Bhoidheach, our final destination. Carn a'Choire Bhoidheach (pronounced Carn a-Corry voddoyich - or something like) stands at 1118 meters (3667 feet) and completes my circuit of the five Munro's of White Mounth. It's taken me 3 years and 4 separate climbs to complete this circuit, starting with my first ever Munro Lochnagar in 2016, but I'm there at last!!
Well, it has again come the bitter time to say bye to another country we came to dearly love and have vowed to come back one day very soon. We’ll be heading home, to Armenia tomorrow for some rest and good sleep. On the bright side, I’ll be posting more photos of our recent adventures in Jordan and Lebanon!
We didn’t have a chance to travel around Lebanon as much as in Jordan, first because the weather on weekends wasn’t in our favour often, with heavy rains and wind, and then, of course the security situation in some parts of the country is unstable, and we had to cancel our trip to Baalbek for example, which is considered one of the must-sees in Lebanon.
Despite this, we did manage to see 3 cities and Tyre was one of them.
I must say that the history of Tyre is pretty remarkable. An ancient Phoenician city founded around 2750 BC according to Herodotus, Tyre's name appears on monuments as early as 1300 BC. It is considered to be the birthplace of Europa and Dido (Elissa).
Tyre originally consisted of two distinct urban centers, Tyre itself, which was on an island just off shore, and the associated settlement on the mainland. Alexander the Great connected the island to the mainland by constructing a causeway during his siege of the city.
It is stated in the Bible that Jesus visited the region of Tyre and Sidon and healed a Gentile.
The city was captured during the First Crusade in 1124, becoming one of the most important cities of the Kingdom of Jerusalem. It was part of the royal domain, although there were also autonomous trading colonies there for the Italian merchant cities.
In 1291, it was retaken by the Mamluk Sultanate, which then was followed by Ottoman rule before the modern state of Lebanon was declared in 1920. Today Tyre is the fourth largest city in Lebanon.
The city of Tyre was particularly known for the production of a rare and extraordinarily expensive sort of purple dye, produced from the murex shellfish, known as Tyrian purple. This color was, in many cultures of ancient times, reserved for the use of royalty, or at least nobility.
This structure was part of the Roman hippodrome discovered in 1967, which is linked to the ancient necropolis of Roman and Byzantine eras. On the left side of this corridor, there used to be small shops selling all kinds of things.
Thanks for your visit and have a great day!
