Great to hear your news
Hi Barbara. This is so exciting getting your news of your travels. We are quite envious actually. John and I travelled through Turkey and also enjoyed it. We actually bought a rug from there in 1994. Still have it. Keep having fun. How long are you away for? John is up at Shark Bay fishing with a bunch of guys from church and then I join him on Sunday at Monkey Mia and then take a week off travelling back to Bunbury. Lots of love to you all. Love Lynn

Great blog Mum!
Loved the photos (especially the Whirling Dervishes) and I had a big smile reading over our adventures on the train and around Istanbul! By the way, to anyone else reading this, I am a great hair stylist and would be happy to give you a hip new look for a small price! :P

Fantastic Photos
Really cool blog Barbara. Turkey is one of two countries I really wanted to go while away (the other being Morocco... on which I'm keen to read your blog!), but did not have the time... and money :P. You've definitely justified my desire to go there! Definitely looking forward to the next two blogs...
