Blog decided to go AWOL, more unladylike behaviour followed, now after 24 hours back on track.
So to continue on our fabulous day yesterday, not that every day hasn't been fabulous. We left the lovely town of B and made our way over a few more hills, mountains trying to stick to the quieter roads Turkish drivers are crazy. Lane markings , speed signs are mere suggestions. There have been a number of heart in mouth moments, Knuds excellent driving has kept us safe and Davids calm and expert navigation has kept us on the right track. Lyn and I supplement the duo with sharp intakes of breath, little squeals and squeaks and the occasional obscenity.
Much of Turkey is rural, but the nearer we headed to Istanbul the more built up, tacky and depressing it got. We were happiest in the rural areas.
Our hotel Monday night was in a dear little hamlet called Behramkale, at the foot of Assos, our hotel Assosyal. What a find this was, a real arty farty place, lots of quirky sculptures, eclectic arrangements of things, just my sort of place. Following are some of the treasures.
What to do with those spare corks
Our artistic arrangement with wine, fresh figs, olives
The OTT dining table where we ate dinner.
