In 2006 Barbara and I were lucky enough to be able to travel to Turkey and Greece. I made notes every day and what we saw heard and ate, and took over 600 pictures.

With a lot of work on the text, and with a selection of photographs, I am happy to share this travel diary with you, in 15 parts. All the files are in adoble .pdf format and you can either click on the links to see them directly or right click to save them to your hard drive. And can you tell that I did this section of my website myself? With any luck I will learn something about html someday............

Enjoy!
