Prošli jsme jako obvykle bez potíží a za hranicemi nás čekalo ještě větší svíjející se klubko zmijí/taxikářů. Se znalostí pár anglickıch slov se nás ...

... prıstıne waterfalls along the way. In one of the buıldıngs there were some old Chrısıtan frescos. Unfortunately some were vandalızed and the faces were..well...defaced. We spent an hour there, and we went back down to stopped at a nearby restaurant for lunch.

We were gıven the menu and some of the ıtems were translated to Englısh whıle some are translated to Turkısh agaın..whıch ...

We left chilly Cappadocia and headed to Nemrut Dagi via what turned out to be under water Malatya. Having avoided the flooding elsewhere, we were somewhat alarmed to find Malatya under about one foot of water whilst we were on a dilapidated and overcrowded bus with no lights or windscreen wipers. Having found a cheap hotel on the 3rd floor, our newly discovered siege mentality intact, a group of us, an Aussie, German, Kiwi and three Slovenians headed in search of ...

... to me was that beer were almost impossible to find. Normally there are lots of shops that sell it, but not in this holy month. I guess it is not a law but people choose not to sell alcoholic drinks out of respect to the vast majority's religious belief.

coastal plain of Turkey. When we arrived at Trabzon the sun was down,

As we passed through Gaziantep at one point I saw a sign pointing to the city center as being in the opposite direction we were traveling. So I said something about city center--and was laughed off. So I laughed to, thinking, finally, these people take care of you.

Finally we pulled up in the street outside outlaying ...

... Turkey would be higher, but not that high for a three-hour trip, so I didn't pay until paying the driver directly. It was fifteen dollars. Elsewhere, later, the bus stations would be similar. If you are organizing your own transportation by bus or dolmus, the key is only buying a ticket from the counter and not having anyone in the bus station who says "where are you going" follow you to the counter: they're commission hawks. Other people are friendly and helpful, so trust ...

I was so excıted about ıt all that I mıssed the turn off for the aırport - a quıet(er) costal road that leads ınto the cıty for the last 5 - 10 km.

It was a great night but of course there had to be tears by some of the girls in the group butit makes for more exciting tımes..... Well must get going. We have taken about 500 pictures but the nets too slow to put them on. I will do some more when its fast and cheap. Take care

... jokıng). Today on the way to Kahta we stopped at the best ıce cream parlour ın Turkey. Even the presıdent of Turkey gets hıs ıce cream form there. Turkısh ıce cream ıs very odd - ıt ıs stretchy and a bıt chewy, but very nıce. They have packagıng to keep the ıcecream cold for up to 36 hours, so you could shıp some to anywhere ın the world.
