Travel Plans

Hello everyone.

So, Clive and I are off to Turkey on the 30th April, not long to go now...

We fly into Istanbul and get an overnight train to Konya in the Cappadocia region, so it will be a long trip! On the upside, overnight trains can be fun and it seems the ones in Turkey are pretty nice. You get private compartments, beds etc, like a mini hotel so we should get a comfortable night's sleep. There's also a dining car, which means our first experience of Turkish Cuisine will be train food! Oh well...

Our general plan for Turkey is to spend the first week around the Cappadocia region, then visit Selcuk on the West coast moving down to Fethiye (Oludinez) where Clive is doing a paragliding 'safety' course. After that we'll make our way up to Istanbul, maybe stopping somewhere interesting on the way. There's loads to see and do in Istanbul so we want at least a week there and then it's off to Bali and Lombok. We are meeting up with my Mum and going scuba-diving on Gilli Trawangan and then I'm going home while Clive stays on a bit to do some more flying.

There seems to be plenty of internet access in Turkey, so we'll keep you all as up-to-date as possible.

That's all there is to say until we get there!
