……..the more we travel the less we know and we are constantly amazed at the incongruity that we encounter……..for example ‘traffic signs’…….sure we understand that cars may travel at 80 km, trucks and trailers 75 km, BUT if your car catches on fire do you HAVE to do 65??????????
The other thing I find bewildering is that women in a Muslim country have to cover up completely BUT yesterday as we sat outside a church that is now converted to a mosque, a beautiful young women with long blond hair one would die for, a glorious tanned figure one would die again for, dressed in very short shorts and tank top was ushered into the mosque by the blokes as if she was the Queen Mother….now I can’t afford to be ageist, sexist or green eyed….but…………
Today we visited the ruins of an ancient Persian Palace set high on a hill overlooking the village of Vouni. Although all that remains is basically the floor plan, it is not hard to imagine how it was. The astonishing thing is all of the bedrooms had ensuite’s with running water and loo’s – this was built in 500 BC!!!
I wonder what our ancestor’s toilet arrangements where at that time?????
We stopped at the newly opened Fragata Fish restaurant just out of Kayalar and we were most impressed by the garden adjacent to the restaurant. It was explained to us that they serve fish caught locally with vegetables from their garden. The gardener became our ‘new best friend’ and after our delicious meal gave us a guided tour of his garden and talked to us non-stop for half an hour in Turkish……..the weird thing is we ‘got’ most of it. We really wish you were here..xxxxxx
