Sorted mystery of logging on to Blog - 2 'i's on Turkish keyboard, andguess what the 'i' you think you should use is not the 'i' you should use!
Thurs 23rd Aprıl
Caught 8.30 ferry from Mytilene to Ayvalik in Turkey, and set off into quıte strong headwind. Arrived Burhanıye and booked into small hotel. Spent at least half an hour with receptionist and one the guest discussing my route, and eventually decided against Istanbul and for Dardenelles!
Frı 24th April
Carried on, again into headwind, to Kucukkuyu. Lovely little place, and you can see Lesbos in the distance. Some lovely scenery so far, although some terrain a bit testing, but the most memorable feature so far has been the lovely Turkısh people. Just one example, pulled up in square in nice little town Edremit, old man sitting on a bench sees me and straight away invites me to share his seat for a rest, obviously we couldn't talk - except to say 'meheba' (hello) but nevertheless real communication.
