It's time to go exploring, yippee!! Tomorrow the 3rd March we get the 1pm bus up to Izmir where we will stay the night. On the 4th we fly to Diyarbakir which is in Southeastern Anatolia and we have a couple of weeks backpacking around the areas of Mardin, Harran and Urfa and we hope to get into Syria and travel down to Palmyra. We then head up to Cappodocia and meet New Zealand friends John and Kathryn on the 17th , then on the 21st we all fly back to Izmir and then will travel to Ephesus, Pamukkale and Afrodisias. We have all our winter woollies packed and are ready for our big adventure.
Will try and do some short updates along the way if we can.
