Harissa

On the way to Beirut we stop and get the Telefreque (Cable Car) up to Harissa which is up in the Beirut Mountains. What we find is more amazing views and beautiful churches, one old (seen in the photo below under Our Lady of Harissa) and one new which was enourmous right next door. The photo above is looking North from the top of Harissa and out to the Meditteranean.
From up here you can see the whole of Beirut below and the Ocean looks amazing from up here. There is a wonderful gift shop here to pick up presents for family and we find a lovely Rosary for my parents and a candle for B's Nan in Sydney.

Have to admit the Telefreque was a little un-nerving but awesome nontheless. See the views.
