The sun is out

We left Istanbul about 9am on Tue 16^th April in the rain & it was cold.  First lunch set up was in the rain.  6 hours later we arrived at our first camping experience in a town called Eceabat-it was cold due to the wind being by the sea, but interesting as it was a main shipping channel with tankers going by.  We all huddled in the greenhouse type bar called Boomerang watching the sea & stray dogs.

Wed was bright & sunny.  Some of us went on a tour of the Gallipoli battlefields & beaches.

Thursday 18^th was a 9 hour drive to a tourist town called Kusadasi & our 2^nd campsite.  As I walked past EVERY shop selling the same thing (t-shirts & trainers), I was stopped by EVERY shop owner asking the same questions “What is your name?  Where you from”?

Sat 20^th onto a spa town called Pamukkale where the spring water has washed the calcium over the land-weird.
