- Istanbul is gigantic!We arrived in Istanbul yesterday evening and took a cab from the airport to the apartment we had rented online. Once again our apartment seems to be very far away from the main part of the city. It's Posted by Pelham Family in The Pelham Adventure | Oct 4, 2011
- Beside the Sea Side, Beside the Sea...Side, Turkey, is very appropriately pronounced sea-day as it an eastern Mediterranean seaside resort that appeals to the egg and chips and "Kiss-me-quick" brigade and their German equivalents. The coastline is crammed with all-inclusive resorts and Posted by Hawkson in Blissful Adventures | Oct 4, 2011
- Scroll from a Legionnaire - Hierapolis AD 129Dearest Mater I am sending this scroll to inform you of the wondrous and magical sights I have witnessed in the eastern provinces of the great and all powerful Empire of Rome.

- Dolmabache Palace - Barely Mentioned in Lonely PlanetThe Tulip Guesthouse in Istanbul is a $10 a night backpacker's flophouse, and it rates 6 lines of praise in The Lonely Planet Guide.

- Adventures on the High SeasFrom our tree house in Olympos, we went on a 4 day pirate adventure sailing up the coast of Turkey to the town of Fethiye. We have lots of pictures and stories, so we will break it into two Posted by colincampbell in Colin & Natalie | Sep 29, 2011
- Delightfully TurkishThe Turks certainly have a collective sweet tooth. A bathtub full of golden honey weighs down the breakfast buffet at our hotel each morning and Baklava dripping with honey comes in numerous flavours and shapes with all types of nuts...

- Breakfast...the least recognizable meal of the daySo before I go on and on about how much we LOVE Turkey, I have to sidetrack just for a minute and reflect on something we have all been missing.

One day, for lunch, Heather and I went to our favorite restaurant on South Campus- Tirkan'li. Having been there before, we were excited to get the same waiter, who Posted by emulloy35 in Bus Stop Ambitions | Sep 25, 2011
- Our Treehouse in OlymposThe overnight bus wasn't as bad for Nat as she had first imagined it would be, of course she popped a Unisom minutes after getting on board so doesn't remember any of it. For those of us who do Posted by colincampbell in Colin & Natalie | Sep 24, 2011
- Turkish Food Rant #1 (plus other tidbits)Before I get to the most important part of this entry (food), I thought I'd give a few updates on what I've been doing lately, though, honestly, most of it involves food. So, it'll be brief. On Monday, I registered for Posted by emulloy35 in Bus Stop Ambitions | Sep 22, 2011
- The Last of CappadociaIt has been great taking a few days off hiking after such a hectic start to our time here in Fairy Chimney Land. The main attraction here, which we have chosen not to do, is hot air ballooning. Posted by colincampbell in Colin & Natalie | Sep 21, 2011
