We had only just left Fethiye when the driver decided that the bus needed a quick service it seemed to be running fine so we pulled into a garage the mechanic did his thing and the bus broke and would not start. 5 days on the Fez Bus now 2 breakdowns and 2 days with no aircon we were starting to feel http://www.travelblog.org//Middle-East/Turkey/Mediterranean/Kas/blog-331352.html As much as I'd loved travelling through Eastern Turkey I was ready for a sea change and looking forward to a few weeks of rest relaxation and fun in the sun. But it meant having to say goodbye to Sandra and Xavi as they were heading back to Istanbul for a couple of more nights before having to return to Barcelona. No doubt my experiences would not have been as much fun if I had not met them an http://www.travelblog.org//Middle-East/Turkey/Mediterranean/Kas/blog-328585.html Blue Cruise http://www.travelblog.org//Middle-East/Turkey/Mediterranean/Kas/blog-322901.html So then we got on the gulet which is apparently the name of the type of boat in the picture. It has two masts but nowadays it is pretty much exclusively sailed under diesel power. We slept on the gulet for three nights. On the first night we slept on the highest deck and had a really good view of the Milky Way. The next night the captain said we'd be going over open sea from 5 to 9 in the mo http://www.travelblog.org//Middle-East/Turkey/Mediterranean/Kas/blog-310063.html After more driving we stopped at a National Park with a waterfall. Jershon climbed a few trees and Silmarien did some more playing in the sand. We attempted to follow directions as given by the signs but we're not really sure if we strinked to the border or not... The water there is a fairly bright green from some sort of mineral. I snapped several pictures of the fish because I was struck http://www.travelblog.org//Middle-East/Turkey/Mediterranean/Kas/blog-310061.html I am on a mission from God. Well not really God is out playing golf. So I guess I am on a mission from me. Busy scouting locations for the Prophet movie to be shot in Turkey Syria and Iran. http://www.travelblog.org//Middle-East/Turkey/Mediterranean/Kas/blog-275155.html 26 aprilNa een vlucht van 35 uur kwamen Martine en ik aan in Antalya. Daar met de taxi naar Sabah Pension wat we al gereserveerd hadden. De rest van onze medepasagiers ging verder met een touringcar om te genieten van hun allinclusive vakantie. Wij belandden in een supergezellig pension Een rondje Antalya historisch centrum gelopen en gegeten aan de baai bij 'Robbie Williams' met uitzicht op d http://www.travelblog.org//Middle-East/Turkey/Mediterranean/Kas/blog-275003.html Finalement le bus pour Istanbul n'aura pris que 15 heures pour se rendre destination C'est donc tout pimpant que nous sommes arrivs dans la ville mythique. Anciennement connue sous les noms de Byzance et Constantinople la mgapole de 15 millions d'habitants nous a laiss une impression trange. Il faut dire qu'elle est divise en deux partie d'un cot l'Europe et de l'autre cot du Bosphore http://www.travelblog.org//Middle-East/Turkey/Mediterranean/Kas/blog-269956.html Well as you know we made it through Turkish customs just and we are in our last country before heading home to Australia with our 1500 photographs. Dont worry we will be having a slide night when we get back so you can see all of them and nobody will have to miss out We crossed the border from Syria to Turkey near Antakya so this was our first stop in Turkey. We have really noticed the differ http://www.travelblog.org//Middle-East/Turkey/Mediterranean/Kas/blog-269301.html April 9 10 2008CIRALI to KAS TurkeyToday we were picked up by our guide driver for the day trip to Kas on the coast. On our way to Kas we visited the small city of Demre and visited some interesting rock tombs and another ancient city complete with temple amphitheater and the usual other facilities. The tombs are carved into caves on the side of a small mountain and have very beautiful ld http://www.travelblog.org//Middle-East/Turkey/Mediterranean/Kas/blog-268235.html Our latest exciting installment begins in the walled city of Dubrovnic. The city is spectacular with beautiful marbled streets stone buildings and truly enormous walls surrounding the entire city. Just as mind boggling was the huge cruise ships turning up 2 or 3 at a time and gorging out thousands of tourists to flood the city. Those walls are designed to keep people out but I tell you they a http://www.travelblog.org//Middle-East/Turkey/Mediterranean/Kas/blog-218731.html MerhabaIt is now one week that we have left Montreal and it already seems far away First as some of you noticed our blog crashed but it seems to be all back in order now except that our first entry has disappeared.

We got on a minibus which turned out to be something which could rival Joburg taxis. The driver overtook on blind corners drove in the oncomming traffic lane and went round corners so fast everyone had to hold on to the seats After about three hours of insane driving and a thousand stops we f http://www.travelblog.org//Middle-East/Turkey/Mediterranean/Kas/blog-47765.html
