sorry for any inconvinence caused by the delay

hey, im in turkey right now, in capodocia, yes its been a while since my last post
since i last posted in london, we traveled to bath, sorry fraser, we missed your house, loved the city. its set in the countryside, with a refined and sophiticated air, we staid there for 2 days, then returned to london to catch our "5 hour" trip with easyjet, or so my dad claimed.
he also claimed that the seats were hard plastic, luckly he was lying, it was three hours and cummfy seats
we arived in istanbull (AKA contantanople) late at night, made our way to our appartment, climed up seven floors, and had a beautifull penthouse appartment
with a hundred DVD collection we splent plenty of nights there
lets see, there was the grand bazaar, wich is thousands of stores each selling preatty much the same thing, but each grabing your arm trying to force you into their store, i bught some eyes, they are blue eyes to ward off evil.
there is the cistern that was designed to hold of a seige, and can hold 100 000 tons of water, hidden below the city untill the 1950s
the blue mosque, with is massive and impressive... moqueness
in the mornig the call to prayer wchoes throughtout the city, and lunchtime, and supper time, wind night time...
great placew
wishu were ther
but anyways
caught a 11 hour over night buss ride from istabull to görme, had two fat people behind us, they could not fit down the buss isle with out turning sideways, the disterbing thing is that 1 looked to be 14, sad
the mother snorthed the entire night through (not trying to be rude, just telling it like it was)
got here this morning
capadocia is known for its rock spires, witch people have hollowed out, and built houses in
see ya all later

Great to hear that you're having such a great time in Turkey etc. Nice to 'see' things through your eyes.

I just got back from a couple of weeks in the Bolivian Andes/Amazon. Incredible time. We'll have to swap stories when you get back.

Keep up the writing, Serge!

Cheers,
