Dougie biscout is our last stay before we head to Iran, as it was very cheap to upgrade me and the girls got a room (which had also been upgraded since the group last stayed there!!) Just so we could have a bed for the night which is always good. Me and Libby went down to the owners travel office in the town where he kindly let us print our documents for leaving the group in Iran as we weren't sure whether we would have access or not to a printer in Iran. We al...

So we headed for the mountains of Nemrut Dagi National Park to see the famous heads at the highest point. It is one of the windiest camps of the trip although when we got there it was very calm so some people braved putting their tents up and a group of us decided just to kip on the truck.

Our next destination is Olympus which is one of my favourites. It's a quiet little village and all the rooms are tree houses and it is very bohemian with cool chill out seating areas and just a very relaxed atmosphere. It is here that we celebrated David's 70th birthday and for it we had a fancy dress theme of the letter D. We all had a great night after having just over a day to decide what we were going as and to put the outfits together to name a few I went...
