Ending the Lebanon portion of the MedTrek on this sweet beach south of the ruins of the ancient Phoenican city of Tyre.
The area between this beach south of Tyre (photo) and the border with Israel is an off-limits security zone and The Idiot’s been forbidden to MedTrek any further by Lebanon’s Internal Security Forces (the ISF, who arrested him two days ago), the Lebanese Military, Hezbollah and the UN.
The MedTrek will be resumed in another country sometime next week.
About Joel
Joel Stratte-McClure has been a global trekker since the 1970s. He lived in France for over 30 years, working as a journalist, before he turned his attention to a unique life-time-project of walking the shores of the Mediterranean. The first 4,401 kilometers are explored in his inspirational and entertaining first book "The Idiot and the Odyssey: Walking the Mediterranean." The next 4,401 kilometers are covered in the gods-filled sequel, "The Idiot and the Odyssey II: Myth, Madness and Magic on the Mediterranean,” published on Valentine's Day 2013. The last 4,401 kilometers will be discussed in the last book of the trilogy currently entitled "The Idiot and the Odyssey III: Alexander the Great Walks the Mediterranean."
