Turkey here I come

Over Istanbul

So, slightly less than bright and breezy I left home at 2.50 am.   Arriving at Heathrow to find that the
desks for check-in wouldn't open until 4.45am, with a flight due to depart at 6.55 am so much for being checked in 3 hours before!   The flight left about half an hour late, we then got held up over Istanbul and had to circle for 30 minutes, with all the grief of getting off the 'plane, queuing for visas and immigration, we missed our connection.  

Towards Adana

Another flight was due to leave at 16:10, and we managed to get onto that flight, albeit that flight left at 17:00 in the end.  

Turkish Airlines Lunch

We had a minibus and a car - the car only had one headlight and Trevor (the guide and driver thereof) got stopped by the police.   Net result we arrived at the hotel about 9:30 pm, with one room short and no dinner.  

Rooms sorted out, a quick turnaround and we were off out for dinner down the road, a great success.   We sat outside in the evening warmth and ate salad, lamb kebab and wraps.   Fresh bread with home-made goats cheese, beer and water - what more could you ask for.

Hooded crow, house sparrow, marsh harrier and feral pigeon I hear you ask!
