MOBY GOES TO TURKEY. A tam and pups adventure.

[Northernraider]

Beautiful sunny morning today and it is so quiet and peaceful here I'm staying another night. Definitely one of my top 5 parking spots in Turkey.

 

[Podney]

What a beautiful place,and,once again Tam,your pics are superb. Thankyou.

 

[KiwiKampers]

I hope Ela doesn't spot a Van cat swimming in the lake. I'm not sure which one of them my money would be on in a fight!

As someone who dispairs at human nature witnessing daily the atrocities of so called civilised people l became somewhat emotional at your post #4375.

Having carried out some form of conversation with this stranger via Google translate, the gentleman then returns with such kind offers of food and substinance, this from someone who probably has very little and nothing else to give and no doubt given the location eaking out a meagre living that offers no more than survival.

I am humbled by his generosity this was a rare moment in time when two people came together in a chance meeting.

Tam, you should put the link to your Instagram page above your previous trips, I have been trying to find you on Insta without success due to not knowing your account name.

Tam are the couple in the yellow van the ones you met before. If not do they chat. They looked chilled out.

My goodness what a stop,if that was on a campsite it would be a five star £100+ a night pitch and l have no doubt people would be fighting over it.

where did the black ( looks like a Doodle!) shaggy dog come from Tam?

 

[Reallyretired]

With regard to the UK sticker we also have GB stickers , though possibly no one knows what that is either.

That's Leo, one of Jaron and astrids dogs. They also have ode the brown and white aussie collie

Holiday brochure stuff Tam, as long as you don't mention the odd crap days you went through.

Laughing at Milo - not interested in playing

Yeah they found a hoof from something and milo was too busy chewing that .

Yeah standing side by side she's now the same height as ela. But not quite as long yet and she's still thin ....keeps taking growth spurts.

Big big storm last night thunder and lightning, it lasted for about 3 hours snow/rain mix.. its weird as I always associated thunder storms with warm weather . And Turkey gets thunder like no where I've ever been , I used to think Greece was bad for storms but there's been some real crackers in Turkey. Dry again today but windy and the wind is freezing going to move on again today further round the lake towards van. I want to try and get an oil and filters change done on moby in the next few days too as I've now done 10k miles since buying it last year. The oil is still very clean but I'd rather get it done here anyway . I normally do 12000 mile intervals

 

[Mikey RV]

It will be hard to leave a spot like that but life’s an adventure and there will be others.

Remind me again, you travel from Scotland to be away from the freezing temperatures and the winter storms........ Great pictures and love reading your travels posts

 

[Phill D]

Hope you got your winter woollys Tam.

You will be on your way to mount Arrarat very soon.

 

[berni109]

You might as well have a look for the ark while you are over there. Think noah left it up that way somewhere.
Far too early to be that far north and east in turkey. Should have stayed on the med coast in the warm sunshine.

It's an honour for them to entertain strangers and gives them more importance in the local community as they can then tell everybody else who,why, what etc, we cycled around Turkey a few times and found the people very friendly.

Yes I do but every year I seem to encounter snow at somepoint. I think it's hard to avoid now if you want to travel longer than 3 months at a time. But still it often means beautiful scenery. I can live with it as long as the roads etc are snow free , and it helps that this van has a good fire for heating
