Rita Smith Thanks Deb. Your story brightened my waking up.

Rita Smith Yeh no was kind of joking unless you want big Turkish mamas in their underpants pummelling your muscles... Sounds like you are getting up to quite enough mischief without any extra, keep writing, I love your stories.

Brian Hastie Keep calm Deb. You DON'T want to end up in a Turkish Jail if you get physical with one of the locals. It would be a midnight express movie type holiday experience.

Rita Smith Thanks again Deb for bringing back memories for me. I love hearing the names of all these places again. Are you up for a real Turkish bath?

Sarah Great post I’m looking forward to following your trip. Hope you post lots of pics

Max Dickman Sounds like fun.

Rita Smith Say hi to all the esquisite mosques and the bazaar for me. Try not using earplugs & soak up the call of the Imam at dawn ... just so you know where you are ... soak up the experience. .. tessakur for the blog

Veronica Freedman What an adventure and only on your first day! Lots of love x

Max Dickman Flight sounds like fun. Always reassuring when your feet get back to terre firma. Enjoy.

Jenny Bryen I still find it amazing that you went the the UK for a holiday, and now your day-to-day life is like one never ending holiday. I'm so happy for you and will enjoy vicariously travelling around with you.

Brian Enjoy your adventure Deb and Peter. Lots of pics please.

Rita Turkey is a beautiful and fascinating country Deb... you'll love it
