Where is the truck and driver
... 45am ( quarter of an hour late) and missed the connecting flight to Adana ( where I was to meet the truck). Actually I was always going to miss it as the Istanbul - Adana flight left at 8.05. I had booked a total flight on the web ( Tel Aviv - Adana) but somehow their web site can't schedule properly. I tried to contact them in the days before the flight but just kept getting a standard reply - " we are looking into your query and will respond ...
The kindness is overwhelming

Karatepe, St Paul's Ghost & Across the Taurus
... lunching at an excellent diner (good simple tucker, friendly staff, very proud of their pristine mountain water). More, even higher, mountains ahead ( snow remnants). We followed a cascade upstream. Tunnel after tunnel. Impressive engineering.
Finally we reached the plateau; a vast flatland with snow capped peaks in the distance. Wildflowers = red poppies, splashes of yellow & purple. Mt Erciyes (4150m) rising in the distance with a decent covering ...
