My fab. 6 week trip to Turkey and Italy in Aug 2000 |
I
left London on the 25th July, and headed over to Istanbul for the start of my
month long trip. I decided to do the whole trip on Fez
Bus - a hop-on hop-off bus service that is run by Aussies and goes all the
way around Turkey. Every second day we would travel a few hundred km to the
next place. We did the full circle anti clockwise - from Istanbul to Gallipoly,
Kusudasi, Koyceges, Oludeniz, Olympos, Goreme and back to Istanbul. The highlight
for me was Oludeniz and Goreme - with its strange lunar surface. This was caused
millions of years ago by two volcanoes spewing hot ash and rocks into what used
to be a lake. Erosion did the rest, and formed these strange Fairy Chimneys.
After that I went off to Italy for 10 days - Rome, Venice with Scott and then
Florence.
