Farewell Turkey

So Far…
Since arriving in Istanbul, Turkey has provided nothing but the best to date, the hospitality has been astounding.
The weather improving tenfold, we were finally able to swim and sunbath. We have pretty much followed the route we intended as described on the website, with a few extra stop-offs along the way.
From Hammans (Turkish baths) to Mudbaths (along the banks of the river), from Ruins to Beautiful Beaches, BBQ’s to Spit Roast Lambs, Paragliding to Hot Air Ballooning, 2 sprained ankles and 1 broken leg (and she’s still here)! Getting sunburnt to freezing our butts off again, Turkey has got to go down as one of the ‘favourites’.
A few more days to go (in Eastern Turkey) and then we are off to Iran; we will be there anything from 2 weeks to a month, depending on how we feel when we get there. Next update will probably be from Pakistan (so no panicking if you don’t hear from us for a while, we’re not sure how easy it will be to find internet access en route).
Until next time…
