It's the streeeeeeeet kiiiiiiiiiiids! So nice to see everyone!
... and straight down to Dorset for some camping in the sun with sixteen of our loveliest friends.
We leave Turkey today - what a fantastic country. We will definitely be back. We thought it was fitting to have the final photo of the boys with Ataturk: the father of modern Turkey. His image is everywhere. I need to read more about him, but so far have been quite taken with the fact that he had blue eyes.
We wandered around for ages looking for somewhere to have our last meal in Turkey, and stumbled across the famous Pudding Shop restaurant. I'd heard about it years ago - it used to be a hang out for overlanding hippies going from Europe to India. It's not so celebrated any more, and there was no sign of any hippies, but it's still cheap, the food was good, there's still a noticeboard for travellers to use and the waiters were very friendly. This is a picture of Turkish tea with cute little packets of single sugar cubes.
I love these Turkish taps! This one is inside the Blue Mosque (which is so beautiful) but they are everywhere - in hotels, on street fountains ... I saw some for sale and wish I bought some.
