I am taking a break for three weeks from Sunday starting in Ankara and heading east (but not as far as Iraq). I hope to return in one piece.

I shall be around until Friday 6pm UK time and then not until Monday 12th July. So happy birthday to anyone who has a birthday in that time and 'Hi' to all newbies.

And anyone with tips of what to see in Eastern Turkey, please feel free to PM me. No route is fixed yet.

Bye y'all. I hope to be back on 12th July. In the meantime there will be silence!

So long buddy, enjoy the vaccinations aaand try not to get vaporised in a firey explosion.
