Hi Everyone, So today is our last day in Turkey as tonight we head to Istanbul on an overnight bus then straight on to Bulgaria. The heavens have opened this morning which is always a good sign its the right time to be leaving. We have loved Turkey and the thought of no more Iskender Kebabs, Turkish Breakfasts, Apple Tea and being woken up at 5am by the man in the mosque singing the call to prayer is very sad. The last few days since our last update have been l...

Hi Everyone, Hope you like the pics we have added. We have had a fantastic few days so thought we would update you. From Bodrum we caught an overnight bus to Antalya. Unfortunately, the bus (which we had been told would get in at 8am) reached Antalya at 4.30am which is not the best time to turn up in a city with no room reservations. Luckily the Pension we headed for let us in rather sleepily and turned out to be lovely. Antalya itself is a gorgeous city on the...

Hi Everyone, So as promised I have managed to get on the internet agaın. After Istanbul we had five or six days of fairly touristy sightseeing.

We will try to catch up fully over the next couple of days and also add some of the pics. So the journey from Nepal to Turkey c...

Wow I have more energy than I thought and can actually manage to write two in one go (we will then be up to date and the pics will follow soon). Although not on the obvious travelling circuit I have been to Bodrum several times and have a lot of friends there so it would be rude not to pop by. Well that was the orıgınal plan but actually we both really loved it so stayed for almost a week. Bodrum has changed a hell of a lot over the last seven years and is now...
