View A short sojourne to Buyuk Ada on adamandmeg's travel map.

Forgıve us readers it has been months since our last entry... and we have travelled... a lot.

We are safe and well and as this goes live we are in our last few days in Turkey. But that is yet to come. Fırst a quick update..

Before we left İstanbul, Meaghan and I were taken to Buyuk Ada (The Big Island for the end of course picnic) by Meaghans favourıte class.

The day was great. The students had catered and looked after us both really really well.

Buyuk Ada ıs just off the coast of İstanbul and forms part of the Princes İsland group. So called because the Princes of the ruler were sent here for their own protection - also because maybe the ruler was a little worried that they were plotting something to overthrow hım...

Anyway. here are some pics...

Ha ha. Nice work. I love feeding Vegemite to Non-Aussies.... it always gets such a funny and consistently disgusted response.
Looks like a great day!

I've lived in Australia for close to a decade and I still hate the stuff!
