GPS waypoints for accomodation needed!

Bom dia,
we will be travelling overland from France to Jordan (Amman) through Hungary, Romania, Turkey, Syria and, of course, Jordan. :-)
Do you have any up to date GPS waypoints of recommended accomodation en route?
Campsite or hostel - should be clean and, if possible, with a safe parking for the bikes. The cheaper and nicer the better! :-)
GPS waypoints most welcome as we propably will arrive by night sometimes and a GPS makes it a lot easier to find :-)
Thank you so much!
Silke

Oooooops ....sorry,really my mistake.

The right one is GPS N34 32 46.1 E38 16 28.4, which is a small family run hotel and cost 20EUR double room with breakfast and laundry facilities in the price.
Actually I can't give any detailed coordinates for the camping which is to the right side(100 m before the main entrance of the Temple) of the main road to Palmyra ruins.

Regards,

Simon

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive.
