Turkey




Christine with a map of the 14 day tour we did. We of course arrived 3 days
early and stayed on another day.



A couple of pictures of the fabulous Pamukkale Trevertine Terraces. The springs cause the terraces to form and you can only imagine how our Pink & White Terraces must have looked.
From a distance you would have sworn it was a snowfield.


Look at the effect of the marvelous sunshine.



The Gypsy wedding we 'attended".
Ankara, capital of Turkey and the Ataturk memorial.


The plastic covers we had to put on so our shoes didn't touch the floor at the mosque.

What difference it made is beyond me.

A Gypsy camp in the middle of Turkey.

A small town street in Turkey.



An example of the many ruins we saw.

Ballooning in Cappadocia.

All below are from Istanbul.



A slightly crowded street - probably off from Taksim Square.

A view of the Mosque looking over the Bosphorus.

On the Bosphorus these were restaurant boats. They cooked the meal on them and
you sat on the side of the wharf and ate.



In the underground railway.

One of the many tricks the sellers of the goats milk ice cream get up to.
