Somehow, we woke up on time but pissed around long enough to miss our bus to Pamukkale. We sprinted to the bus station with our giant backpacks and missed it by about 5 minutes. There were about 6 bus companies all sitting next to each other at the station and despite the fact the bus [...]
It was either Selçuk or nearby Kusadasi as our next stop. We ended up going to the tiny sleepy town of Selçuk and I’m glad we did as Kusadasi sounded huge, touristy and expensive. Selçuk has its own quiet charm and we were pretty quickly talked into staying one night longer here than we though [...]
We arrived in Eceabat, a tiny little coastal town filled with monuments and dedications to the New Zealand, Australian and Turkish soldiers in WWI. We drove out to Anzac cove which had a tiny museum consisting mainly of photographs, letters, weapons and shrapnel. It was all sort of humbling and sad … right about till [...]
The moment we got to Istanbul I fell in love with it immediately. It is a beautiful city, lined with cute restaurants and cafes in between ancient mosques and a huge Palace.

Not the Middle East, but I did spend a weekend here with my family before I left. I had only one reason for wanting to go to Prague and I owe it all to Stumble Upon. If you don’t has it, gets it. Behold! The incredible Kostnice Ossuary in Kutna Hora, otherwise known as the [...]
Back and cranking the lappy, oh, how I have missed it. It’s been keeping my thighs warm for the last 3 hours non stop. I’ve spent the last month and a half viciously guarding my portable technology, otherwise known as my camera, living in constant fear of it being snatched, or its memory card corrupting [...]
