Comments on: Be Beirut http://quitealone.com/2010/01/27/be-beirut/ "To awaken quite alone in a strange town is one of the pleasantest sensations in the world" – Freya Stark Tue, 29 May 2012 07:12:38 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: Matthew Teller http://quitealone.com/2010/01/27/be-beirut/#comment-327 Sat, 17 Apr 2010 14:39:31 +0000 http://quitealone.com/?p=320#comment-327 Thanks for your input, Anonymous. Just to clarify, the tour I took (3 January 2010) started at 2:00pm and finished at 7:10pm – though yes, we weren’t walking the whole time and there were several stops to rest. Maybe they’ve altered the itinerary since January? Please let us know, BeBeirut people!

As for the picture in my page header, it shows the interior of one of the cabins at the Ajloun Forest nature reserve in northern Jordan. You can be quite alone in luxury if you prefer, but I’d rather be in a cabin in Ajloun!

Have to say I really enjoyed reading it. I don’t know whether it accurately reflects what the hotel is really like. But if it is true, then top marks to Timesonline for publishing it.

Think I’ll put your blog on my blogroll – it’s very interesting. Although the bedroom at the top looks a little bit austere. Can one not be quite alone in luxury?
