The bus shook as we rolled over the rocks ın the rıverbed and the water splashed softly as the current smacked agaınst the sıde of the black rubber tyres. Sarah and I looked at each other, of course knowıng that the drıver of the bus was well aware that he was drıvıng across a shallow rıver, but not ...

An early Sunday mornıng saw Sarah and I stumble from the alley door of Erasmus Hostel ın Istanbul, after stayıng up all nıght drınkıng wıne wıth the local hostel dwellers. Our dear frıend, Gıovannı, from France, was the last to go to sleep, embracıng us deep ın hıs wıne-...

Cirali is just up from a place called Olympus... So what i hear ya say.. Well behind Cirali there is a mountain called Mt Olympus and it is the home of the eternal flame... Yep there is flames coming straight out of the rocks.

We headed up after dark for a 3km walk up the hill, we arrived to see a very strange sight. Up in the valley ther...

The flames of Olympos were sufficiently extinquished today with rain, hail, snow, and flooding.

Packing up to leave this morning was a bit difficult. A thunderstorm raged and caused the power to go out in the building. All over town I could hear car alarms screaming out their cry from the blast of tunder and lightening in the sky.

Tocmai ce m-am intors din concediu, Antalya, Turcia…

Pai sa vedem.

Antalya si riviera turceasca se intinde pe 200 de km de coasta mediteraneana. Intr-o zona fara vreo spectaculozitate aparte s-au construit 700 de hoteluri si resorturi si alte cateva sute de zone rez...

The night before our four day cruise from Fethiye to Olympos, Kristen
looked out into the harbor full of boats and guessed that the beautiful
big boat that pulled in was probably ours...

It wasn't...

But
though at first we couldn't believe that the boat that looked so small
and common, like all the other boats in the ha...

RIDDIM IS LOVE! I've just finished 4 days of reggae at the Unite in Paradise festival in Adrasan near Olympos, hitching the 18k out in the afternoon and then back at 6am the next morning. I got the bus back here from Capadoccia, arriving wed morning to find Tim, who was here when I left, was still here, a long weekend turned into a 10 night holi...

5/30 I finally found a little piece of Texas in Turkey!!! Olympos is known as a backpackers paradise because of its get-away-from-it-all feel and complete absence of hotels. There are no tour busses, no paved roads and not a single mosque. It was like being at summer camp in the mountains and at the beach at the same time. We stayed at the famou...

As I move into more and more remote areas of Turkey, the Internet connections get slower and slower - hence me taking a long time to update my blog. But have no fear, this will be a long and good one. My last day in Selcuk took me to the Ephesus museum, which was very good. A review like this from me, having a love-hate relationship with museums...
