You would too, if you knew the drama!
Within the Aya Sofia
Breakfast Istanbul roof-top terrace style
It was one of the most stunning bazaars I have ever seen, despite the razzle dazzle!
Bargained for the dress, crouched under the desk and CHANGED!
Heading down the lanes towards Eminonu
Why? There's where you get some of the best fish burgers!
Making friends around Sultanahmet
At Troy
And it was a rat ass kicking hot day at Troy...
Gallipoli
Doing my "Lifestyle of the rich and famous" 15-second shot
Outside of Ayvalik, where the motorbike stopped and the sea began
Juice-up!
The most charming hostel we stayed in during our times in Turkey
This little rascal was our favourite in Kas
Goreme at sunset
Did we say it's also the land of beautiful horses?
Despite waking up at some ungodly hour and
having a hot air balloon sticking out behind my head, it was one of the rides of our lifetime!
Forest hikes through old cave churches and fields of gold
On my way to my OJ salvation
Inside a forgotten, abandoned church (apparently of the St John cult)
Fairy phallic symbols
Ihlara Valley's 14km hike - we were already lost on the first round!
Dispersing dandelion
Befriending a lone anak keldai... so cute!
Blending in with the locals
This was the last 2km where we tried to get out of the maze with
my left foot twisted / swollen like a bloated moon on the 15th!
Got out! And an old lady living amongst a village of ten invited us to have tea
Spot the difference
Glam!
Invited in to help out in the winter food preparation at Hattusa
They were gangsters, gabbing away and causing a mayhem
Inci my Turkish feline friend at Safronbolu
Pre-U2 360 playout - count down!
Looking good, feeling good!
Bono, doing his gig
The Edge, doing what he does best and boy, does he still have the edge!
No matter what they said, it was one unforgettable concert
And after the nearly solid midnight encore...
... fresh as daisies, here we are post-concert
I hate this part - waiting for the ride home - some hooligans threw a rock at our bus
and it was like some yob attack
Sweets making it sweeter than ever! I love you long time!
Anywhere you go in Turkey, everyone wants to talk to you
- so easy to make friends
A church, a mosque, now a museum
At Mardin, we got coaxed by a small local lad to do the touristy pose
Bleating with the goats down in the rocky hills - they were HUGE!
Hot town but Mardin was the one authentic Arabic village in this country
Sunset in Kurdistan's Hakkari
A random invitation for tea extended to dinner and dress up - Kurdish wedding theme
What the heck - we DID just spend our third anniversary after all :D
Miss Kurdistan Airline poster
This house was held by a clan of females
Makan time
Last stop - Van - on our way to Iran
Dogubayazit border
