Turkish Swansong – Abana to Cappadocia to Georgia- 9th to 27th Apr 2017

  Sunday 9th April Abana to Abana Distance: 0 km Average Speed: 0 kmh Fastest Speed: 0 kmh Total Distance: 11560.82 km We expected rain today and as a result were in the mindset for a day off. Sadly the rain never materialised but the day off did. Hopefully the weather will be kind tomorrow too. Blog, bike maintenance and admin – as usual takes hours. Oh but at least there’s Masterchef!   Monday 10th April Abana to Ayancik Distance:…

The In and Out of Istanbul – 27th March to 8th Apr 2017

The In and Out of Istanbul – 27th March to 8th Apr 2017

  Monday 27th March We definitely had cycling plans for today but when we realised that it was cold and incredibly windy we decided a full rest day was in order. So that was that. Just one admin task still to complete – upload video clips from our cycle from Bodrum. We’ve been inspired by Ed Pratt, a young Somerset lad, cycling the world on a unicycle. Every week he publishes a video on FB. Sadly (or perhaps thankfully) we…

More Turkish Delights – 29th Jan to 11th Mar 2017

Sunday 29th January Today it’s market day in Göcek. We don’t hang around this morning. One cup of tea and then we’re up and about; feeding the animals, rubbish bags into the car, laundry into the car, laptop and electricals into the car and we’re off. We stop off at our closest neighbour so we can tie up Lina and Aussie but also because he likes to visit the market. Unfortunately there’s no one in. This could spell trouble with…

Yesterday there was a huge deluge of rain and hail in Sitea and we’re praying there’s nothing…
