- My first bath (Turkish)
An experience that is difficult to fully describe. We chose the Cagaloglu Hamami or Turkish bath. It is medieval design. The Cagaloglu Hamami is probably the world’s most famous Turkish Bath.

- When's a Mosque Not a Mosque & other questions from Istanbul
Just a quick side comment before this blog begins. I was interested to see from peoples comments that they thought the group of people from Gallipoli who didn't treat the site with the respect it deserves were from our generation. Posted by The VBs in The Adventures of Mr & Mrs VB | Oct 30, 2009

You would think after being 3 weeks in to our travels we'd be making a concious effort to have learnt from previous mistakes. As it turns out, we haven't, I think subconciouslly we just thrive off the momentary panic attacks. Posted by The VBs in The Adventures of Mr & Mrs VB | Oct 26, 2009

How do you get from the Greek Islands to Turkey, you might ask. The short answer is:
* 6 hour ferry from Mykonos to Lesbos
* Wait 3 hours, meet 2 Brazilians and have some hot chocolate

啊!!!!!!!!!
两大桶的汽油桶,可是我们的车子却在距离加油站500米的地方熄火了!停的真是地方,风景不错,大小便也隐蔽!
女生们排成一排站在高速路得中间,竖起大拇指,希望以美色吸引来往车辆的注意。终于,连穆斯林的男人也抵挡不住诱惑。停下车,女生的后面站了一排的男生,拎了几个巨大的汽油桶. "大爷行行好!送我们去汽油站吧!” 半个小时之后,男生们抱着汽油桶凯旋,女生们也在高 Posted by suevasil in Overland for 8 Months | Jul 22, 2009
- 火焰山
在土耳其奥林巴斯安营扎寨了1个晚上,在海里扑腾了1整天,在自助餐吃了两大盘之后,于当地时间晚上9点,我们像火焰山进发。
坐上迷你小巴,空调吹的我们飘飘欲仙,上一次什么时候吹过空调已经不记得了,真是奢侈!吹着吹着,我便眯上了眼睛(基本上从旅行的第一天起,我便上车开睡,下车吃饭旅游,一点都不耽误),车子忽左忽右的在盘山公路上摇晃 – 眼不见为净!不往下看也就不觉得恐怖了。等我一觉醒来,车子已经停稳了!当地时间9点45.
从司机的手里拿了手电,我们就开始往山上爬了。中国的火焰山住着牛魔王和红孩儿,不知道 Posted by suevasil in Overland for 8 Months | Jul 22, 2009

- Goodbye Turkey, Hello Syria
It's amazing how immediately after crossing the border there is a lot less vegetation, and then a couple hours later it's almost nothing but desert.
Also the desert isn't sand like I expected - it's dry soil and rocks. Posted by chrisvasil in Overland for 8 Months | Jul 24, 2009

Having never been to a bathhouse I didn't really know what to expect. We were pretty dirty from the succession of dust, seawater, and cold showers, so it seemed like a plan. Here it is in a nutshell:
