Turkey Unfiltered
We loved:
Beef Doner in Cappadocia – the tastiest beef I’ve ever eaten!
Desserts – one very similar to panna cotta in taste but in a slice
Turkish Delight
Turkish Fairy Floss
The people
Paragliding
Baklava
Oludeniz Beach
Tikki Bar – Oludeniz
The dogs and cats of Turkey
Some of our hotels
Aykut – our tour guide – regaled us with hilarious stories and Borat impersonations
How ridiculously affordable everything is
The people on our tour (with a few exceptions) 🙂
Lamb Kebabs in Istanbul
Lahmacun (Thin base Turkish Pizza)
Freshly Squeezed Pomegranate juice
Anyone notice our “loved” list is usually always food? 🙂
Not so much
Being stopped by the police at least once a day, sometimes twice a day
Traditional toilets 🙂
Some of our hotels
The long hours in the coach
The breakfast at the hotel in Cappadocia – in fact the dinners too!
Daily Giggle:
Olivia losing the battle with gravity, but amazingly, remaining asleep 🙂
NEWTON’S LAW
Grand Bazaar in Istanbul
Last but not least, Jarrah demonstrates some of the many ways to sleep on a coach:
As does mum, who has some moves of her own:

Have loved your pics through Turkey, amazing scenery! Paragliding looked amazing too and agree – it’s really peaceful up there!

Fun pictures! I’ve often thought of visiting Turkey. In the US, we call the purple flowers in your picture “Mexican petunias”.

So many items of note here. Where to begin … Well, to start with, that Döner – at least here, that’s referred to as a Dürüm. It may be called differently in Turkey, but just figured I’d share. Please tell me there was a basket of bread that was missing from the Cappadocia breakfast. (FYI – Still not stopping me. I’m going there, just you wait!)
And finally, Aykut … good that you two have a tour guide type. (Baldy beardy combo.) 😀
That is all.

Thanks for sharing Mr Urtz – and I’ll raise you with two more …it is called a Schwarma in South Africa and Gyros in Greece – same, same 🙂
There was indeed some bread with that breakfast – not that it helped 🙂
You’re right … maybe that’s why we liked him so much, must have been a subconscious association!
PS: Look who is on a roll, catching up on the blogs – work must be slow 🙂
