I visited the Roman villa and the remains of the cathedral, before meeting a very curious and affectionate Syrian man who started to hug me and babbled away in Arabic, which I unfortunately could not understand. Hours after I had planned to leave Apamea, I started walking down, saw some of the mosaics that had been recovered at Apamea, before heading to Hama.
