Two Weeks in Turkey

We've just come home from our holiday in Turkey. Actually we arrived home at 7a.m. Monday morning. Night flights are so awful. We flew at 3.20am (Turkey time, 2 hours in front of us) and it's a 4 and half hour flight. We were absolutely cream crackered. But the holiday was fab.
The Turkish people are so friendly and everywhere was so clean. The only down side was the constant hassle to get you in the bars and restaurants. If you like designer goods and are not to bothered about the fact that they are genuine fake then Turkey is shopping heaven. You can get 5 'designer' t-shirts for a tenner, 4 'designer' leather purses for a tenner, leather 'designer' handbags for as little as a tenner. You do have the option of bartering, as all the shopkeepers want a sale, if you think something is to expensive. I bartered for a leather D&G handbag and got it for £10 instead of the original £40.
We left Turkey in 25 degree heat and landed back in Doncaster to rain, clouds and a bracing 13 degrees. Way to go England.

Typical British Summer.
