We had a great time in Turkey. It´s just like Thailand, but with a more middle eastern feel. It´s organised chaos. Istanbul was stunning, especially the Spice Bazaar and the Blue Mosque - all with the They Might Be Giants song running through our heads. We toured the Gallipoli battlefields and chilled on a three day Gullet boat cruise off southern Turkey. Ate plenty of Kebaps, bread, Lokum (Turkish Delight) and drank Turkish tea.

We think we got some good photos. Will post some later.

On the August Bank Holiday long weekend we took a train to Scotland with our friends Nick and Katrina. We hired a car and toured Scotland's beautiful south west. We stayed in Glasgow (rainy late night Glasgow is like Gotham city), stayed in the pretty coastal town of Oban, visited the Isle of Mull (spectacular even in the pouring rain) and took a stroll in the awesome highlands near Glencoe.
