MOBY GOES TO TURKEY. A tam and pups adventure.

[Gina M]

Fantastic pictures again. What a shame the world isn't a friendly, i was just looking at a map, you could bob on through Syria, Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, India, quick nip up to Nepal, Bangladesh, Myanmar and then on for a cup of Yorkshire with Ian the Builder in Thailand!

Wow, yes, just checked on my world map. That's interesting if only half the world wasn't at war, you can travel by land to Thailand.

One of the Belgian couples I spent Christmas with are making their way to Mongolia and China so it obviously can be done but think they had to jump through a lot of hoops for visas etc

It's the risking life and limb that concerns me!

Yeah but you only live once eh . .

 

[Onemanandhisdog]

Yeah but you only live once eh . .

your glass is half full, you also only die once ....

 

[WESTY66]

Yeah but you only live once eh . .

There’s someone’s signature on here that says “you only die once, you live every day” Nobody will get in the way of the Belgians, even the commies will feel sorry for em

Aye but the dogs were next to me and his goats were on the opposite hill. A good 20 minute hike away . And besides my dogs aren't interested in goats, sheep, cows, horses etc ... they don't react to them. Only cats that move fast, birds and other dogs. I think maybe some of the stray dogs might bark at the livestock and that's why they automatically assume any dog will. That said if his goats had been next to us I'd have had the dogs on leads anyway just incase

You know that... Shepherd geezer doesn't so I don't blame him being wary...

"Fenton"

Or he may have just been a grumpy old solitary git .

 

[Gina M]

Yeah but you only live once eh . .

I wish I'd had the courage and the money to do that trip when I was younger. I would have loved the adventure.

 

[Langtoftlad]

No one fancied a paddle?

Looks inviting.

 

[mackeellan]

Yeah but you only live once eh . .

It's what you do in the once that counts eh Tam. Great photos again!

 

[StephandJohn]

Beautiful and interesting pictures Tam. What an adventure
Many years ago there was a couple maybe on MotorhomeFacts who were making their way to Syria when war broke out. Luckily they weren't too near and had to turn back. I often wonder where they went and are they still travelling.

A wee friend arrived in for a feed

 

[Northernraider]

Last nights stop was by a river at another canyon, sadly it was yet another canyon that didn't allow dogs so we never went in ...

Popped in to kemer for a wee look , full of Russians... very noisy so didn't stay

Also picked up some oranges.... crazy sacks for 50tl .... about £1. 25

And then on to antalya which is just heaving... and not really my kind of place.. we struggled to get a parking place to go see the waterfall. Really really busy

and parked up tonight at lara Beach a few miles east of antalya. Was heaving when we arrived here too but started to clear out after the sun went down .. Sundays are very busy in Turkey. High 20's today .. starting to feel like summer

 

[Just smiffy]

Why are they all there..? Concert, show or some event or just sitting there in the sun…

Antalya - worked from airport there for a month. Grabbed my $X,000 cash and left. Never want to go back. Glad you survived.

 

[Gina M]

The place was way too busy for me. I would have been gone in a flash!!

 

[Drum Major]

Lovely pics again Tam

 

[CaptainPaul]

When we passed by there we stopped at a big park on the shore a few miles short of Antalya and made our way in on the Vespa and honestly the old town & port of Antalya known as Kaleici is stunning give it a quick Google its a beautiful place, although I know your further on past there now....

 

[CaptainPaul]

That's where we parked loads of room and only 10 mins along the coast from the old town & port

I'm still doing it! Rosie has decided this year she wants to do a Moroccan themed room at home, to go along with the Turkish themed room we already have, the French chateau themed room and the Swiss Mountain cabin themed room I've got more shite in the boot of this wee van you wouldn't believe there's 4 Berber rugs, 3 or 4 lamps, 1 big massive rug cost a fortune and a big 5ft x 4ft oil painting that can only go on the bed and has to be put up the front every night... by the time we have all these bloody themed rooms done I won't need to go away on holiday I'll just walk into the Turkish room or the Moroccan room or whatever and just be there!

Oil painting near the size of the whole double bed in the van, Rugs and pillowcases, lamps of every type, leather pouffes, woolen pouffes etc I've a nest of tables to pick up in Tangiers before we go to the ferry

and goodness knows what else in the garage I can't even remember now!

 

[CaptainPaul]

Yep I looked at that View attachment 868771

Aww that's a pity that was a great wee spot too, when we were there we stayed over for 2 nights and there was a big Romany gypsy festival on it was fantastic I have a video of it somewhere it was amazing and the people were lovely and very friendly (maybe it's because they saw my Irish reg plate!)
