Merhaba! And so my travels took me to the gateway of both Europe and Asia. Turkey. A short trip of 2 weeks awaited whilst I patiently waited for Brendan to arrive in Istanbul airport from Australia. Amazingly we were both on time and safely found our way from the airport to our hostel in the northern suburb of Beyoğlu. Before the influence of women was upon us, we had just over 2 days to get...

Helo our travelling friends!
Hey guys and the Better halves ...:) Once again a captivating edition to the Cliff Blogs 2010:) Had to laugh at the no menu $20 kebabs as it reminded me of what happened when Gooma, Natalia and I went down to StKilda and decided to indulge in a shared soft serve icecream cone from a ratty looking icecream van man...no prices displayed but thinking nothing of it we ordered one plain vanilla cone. Handed over my 5 dollar note and stood waiting for my change.. the guy stares at me and says" thats it"...I say "yes thats all i want" still waiting on my change... he says "no thats it, thats how much it is "..... I walk away and Goom asks how much it was... 5 fricken bucks for a measley icrecream cone that now tasted sour rather than sweet.... Funny enough we say two guys walking prams and asked them how much their cones were.. they responded " we were just discussing that, bloody expensive"... so the moral of the story AVOID places with NO prices displayed (especially the overweight man selling icecreams in stkilda).... Any ways......... loved your blog.. Natalia, Mummy V and Daddy V are all doing brilliantly and await more news from ya all:) Love Karolina, Gooma and Natalia
