Izmir Princess

I felt asleep before 630 last evening, and got up at 5 this morning. What a sound sleep! And an amazing new noon arose outside my window. The prayer sound made the context really turkish. <br><br>Our lunch was at a resort with a lake. There were no other customers but us, the participants at the conference. It cost 20 lira, so maybe too expensive for local people. <br><br>Dinner was lighter, but i still couldn't finish it.

... away as I found out after inquiry at the campus near the hotel. Surprisingly the university security staffs do not speak English. They're nervous talking to me! Haha, being a total foreigner in a distant country surely is an interesting experience. Youngsters should all try to do this. Anyway I decided to just walk around the downtown, Alcanti area to learn about local life. I assume once i start my conference tomorrow I'd have no time to do that. (It turned out ...

... arrive and pack out the dorm. They are travelling as an informal group with guidance from a teacher who's very experienced. They turn out to be hospitable and er very american but not in an irritating way. They adopt me as their second token brit and a new zealand girl also hangs out with them. So we chat about travel and have a nice time

... is quite cold. Then to pack and head off for a 12 pm lunch. In practise this means spending most of the morning in this bay where we spent late afternoon and evening too. Then off the boat by a tricky small boat transfer and rammed into a minibus without aircon. So a drive of two hours later around some stunning coastline (which would have been great by boat) and we pull into Olympus. which turns out to be a ...

So we arrived in Izmir after another long bus ride. I think we are getting pretty good at dealing with these kind of trips and the fantastic Turkish bus system sure makes it even easier. The only trouble we had was finding the right bus, which was only difficult because our bus was delayed close to an hour. When we arrived in Izmir, we were greeted by Evren's Aunt and escorted to a restaurant for a fine Turkish breakfast ...

... or September to keep the heat in check, and much lighter bikes to make the hills more "pleasant". It's now August, we're 6 months into this odyssey, and just over 10,000 km on the bikes. This is about 1/4 of the way around the world, so another 18 months and we could do the whole thing! So much for statistics. The latest bike part to break was my right pedal (bearings are going out), which I was able to replace in Istanbul. Flight to India tonight and a whole new culture begins! M&lt;

... my bike to excited howls from the boys glad it had been unsighted earlier. I made off and they sped away in the truck. Then I considered which of these boys was driving. I soon gave up on the mausoleum and made my way back to Finike stopping to chat to some carpenters in Yeþilyurt who offered me tea and had it made especially. My head was aching from the heat. I dunked my head under a tap and stopped for a rose jam sandwich. Rose jam now there's a curious thing. Personally I ...

... complaining about the cold and being uncomfortable, walking up to Lone Pine and our complaints about the toilet and food facilities are nothing compared to what these men did for their country. It makes us proud to be Australian. It was then a long two hour wait for our bus to pick us up and drop us off in Ecabat where our tour was to end. We arrived in Ecabat and found a hostel for the night, had a quick cheap meal and headed to bed to get some much needed sleep. 26/04/06 We ...
