Woolly says – with the sun beating down, cake consumed for breakfast – well you have to have a healthy diet – I hustled Jo and her multitude of phones, camera’s and bags out of the door.

'We travel not to escape life, but for life not to escape us' A truly multi-national mammoth that travels the world visiting places of interest, making new friends and causing mischief wherever he can. With my carer Jo (bless her!)

Congratulations!
Glad to see you're back enjoying the magic of southern Turkey, a place I love. Incredible history, so scenic, great food and friendly people (I also hitchhiked with someone who was guzzling/offering beer on a mountain road). Enjoy your explorations!

It truely is a beautiful place
