  And the napkins in the picnic baskets are absolutely fabulous Jacqui, but unfortunately not monogrammed.   ;D

Those aren't picnic baskets Kevin. They are what you ride in.

I know that Mustafa the carpet man on the corner by the Megri in the centre of Paspatur used to take people on 2 or 3 day trips to Cappadocia. Apparently he was very good. I don't know the charge or even if he still does it. It's just worth finding out if you're around that area.

I am sorry to say the trip looks like it is off.  The weather is far to hot at the moment to do anything and the long range forecast is not giving us any cooler weather.  We will wait until next week to make a final decision and may choose to visit somewhere a bit closer.

We went to Cappadocia in July and had to go and buy long sleeve clothes while there, warm in the day, cool at night.
The coach will be air conditioned, I would say it will be a nice relief from the heat.

We were going to drive, but Phil is not keen as his back plays him up just at the moment and after looking at the times to travel  there and back, he thinks it is too much just now.  It was all my idea and he went along with it until he realised the driving involved..
No way we would get the coach.  We did a horrible journey lately from Scotland to Southampton and back.  We have decided no more coach journeys for us.

The bus was fab. No stress no worry and cake and tea at regular intervals, all included in the very low price.
Plenty of leg room and arrived bang on time.
Travelled overnight so slept most of it.

Turkish coaches are very comfortable with lots of stops, leg room and snacks provided. I've only been as far as Bodrum and back but it was great. Friends have travelled to Istanbul and were surprised how comfortable they were. Plus prices are very good.
