Today I set out from Köycegiz, with the same annoying bus driver, he seemed a bit placated today.By the end of yesterday I'd had it with him, arguing with me in front of the passengers, swearing under his breath and just generally annoying me, so I called his boss.It must have worked as I had absolutely no trouble out of him today.Unfortuantely, the passengers had already formed an opinion of him and those are hard to change. I took everyone to Saklikent gorg...

Today I set out for Troy from Yellow Rose Hostel with a group of 26, a full bus after working a 36 hour day (Yes I know thats not a day!) with 5 hours sleep.This kind of thing seems to be becoming the norm.I decided yet again to go into Troy but this time I decided to treat myself to a little exploring while the local guide showed the group around….I'd never explored the site on my own and actually had no idea how big it really was. Well I did but how much can ...

I have had such an awesome time being stuck in Olympos for six days! Oh my god it has been torture! Not!I had the first few days to relax before Vanessa rang me and said that I had no one on my bus to Egirdir and that Cat had quit and I'd be in Olympos for another three days!That of course was enough time for the crazy crew I had been traveling with to catch up with me. I had three really cool 19 year old English guys who are studying at Oxford turn up that day,...

We climbed aboard and off we went, we managed to snag the f...

What a horrific experience these two "days off" have been in Kusadasi!Firstly today, I went on the Priene, Miletos and Dıdyma tour, which you would think me being me would have loved...hated.Don't get me wrong the ancient sites were absolutely amazing, but we got 45 minutes at Priene, half an hour at Didyma and the same at Miletos!Now these places aren't just a pile of rocks as I've heard some people say about Troy.Theres much to see here.The theatre o...
