    "Globe Trotter" ..Istanbul

    Sheila & I are presently spending a few days touring Turkey and yesterday on the way from the airport into Istanbul passed three impressive looking Defenders fully rigged with "Globe Trotters" written across the front. Didn't have time to get the camera out to take a pic though.

    There are plenty of Landrovers here, and even more in Scotland, lots of shorties. Landrovers are definitely the favorite 4wd's in Scotland & England. Took a few pics which we will post when we get home.

    We are presently in Eceabat after a very full and fascinating day touring around Gallipoli. Looking around ANZAC cove and Lone Pine was very, very moving.

    Thanks Lebanon, nice of you to offer, but we have a pretty hectic itinerary in Turkey. We head to Germany on Saturday for a few days, then back to the UK, then home early Sept.

    Cheers, Erich

    Yes, some of the scenery is outstanding, and the ancient ruins we have seen so far were amazing and we have more to see in the next couple of days before heading back to Istanbul on Wednesday. The people are so very friendly and obliging...and the food ......great.

    Cheers, Erich

    After Germany, we are taking the train from Zurich to Paris, then the Eurorail to London where we collect a car. Heading out to Sailsbury then Gloucester and then to Wales to visit Sheila's cousin. After that back to Halifax to collect Sheila's Dad (who has been staying/travelling in England with his niece, visiting relatives etc).
    Then off to Singapore for three nights so Dad can get his body clock back to Aussie time (he is almost 89).
