The overnight bus from Istanbul was smooth sailing. I had heard of the good reputation of turkish bus companies and they certainly lived up to my expectations. Quality buses, no hassle. I'd even say they're a bit boring. Anyway, I got in Selcuk in early morning and quickly found my way to an ANZ hostel, the first one I stumbled upon. I got a dorm bed for a good price after only a little bargaining... Read Full Entry

Follow my adventures as I travel through Asia, the sub-continent, Africa, the Middle East and Eastern Europe for a year or so. I'll be travelling solo, independantly and on a tight budget so it should be interesting.
There's been a little change in my itinerary. I cannot get a Iran visa as a Canadian so I opted to fly to Athens from Mumbai. From there I'll go through the Balkans in about a month before heading south toward Cairo overland.
I welcome any comments or constructive criticism.... full info

Ephesus
Salut Victor! Je suis contente d'avoir eu de tes nouvelles! :) Me semble que ça faisait un bout de temps. Je ne peux m'empêcher de faire un commentaire sur tes photos d'Ephesus! Ça m'a fait tout drôle de les voir car je dois dire qu'elles sont pas mal identiques aux miennes! (à part pour celle où tu es monté tout là-haut et passé par-dessus des barbelés... moi je me suis contenté de la carte postale! lol) Lors de mon voyage en Grèce et mon court arrêt en Turquie je dois dire que le site de la ville d'Éphèse est le plus beau site archéologique que j'ai vu. J'en ai été bien impressionné. C'est facile de s'imaginer à quel point la ville devait être majestueuse. Sur ce, bon restant de voyage et je ne peux attendre de voir tes photos et lire tes commentaires sur l'Égypte! :) Prends soin de toi! Kim xox
