Still Here...

We are still in Oludinez.

Clive was meant to start his SIV course today but the wind was blowing the wrong way for the first time in a week. SIV is like a defensive driving course for paragliders, for anyone who wants more info here is a link SIV Explanation

Oludinez is not the best place at all. It's like about 10 streets taken out of Kuta (Bali) but without the interesting bits. It's also pretty expensive, food costs more than in Australia but isn't as good!
We have found one very reasonable and yummy Turkish restaurant so it's not all bad and there's always bread and cheese. On the whole though it's not inspiring but there's Istanbul to look forward to in a few days. We are going by overnight luxury bus so even though the trip is 12 hours it shouldn't be too bad!

I hope it all goes well Clive. Pitty about the place Nadya - did you find anywhere to go walking in that vast landscape?
Anyway, have a good bus trip to Istanbul. I look forward to the next report.
I'm going to brave the sea with snorkel etc. at Aberystwyth today.

Speaking as someone who has just rolled in from 10 hours at the office, I'm thinking you don't have it so bad even if the place is a bit dull!

Well, yeah, it's better than work but I keep thinking of places I could be exploring elsewhere!
