30th April - 88 miles to Ipsala in Turkey. Crossed militarised border where soldiers waved and cheered us in! Stayed in hotel occupied by high school and uni students. Watched Chelsea v Liverpool game and multi tasked giving English lessons! It is a lovely atmosphere here.
1st May - 69 miles to Tekirdag, a hot day, I wear shorts all day for the first time! Countryside like the UK in June, lush and green with bumper crops of winter wheat, barley and oilseed rape. Modern machinery.

Rock on Rog...your reception in Turkey sounds friendlier than that normally accorded to visiting Brits (ie football supporters!)... no doubt your own natural diplomacy helps!
Glad you've found a good companion to help share your experiences.
Your presence was missed at the Staff Meeting the other day (you're doing the minutes by the way)....Bluetongue hasn't arrived here yet, neither has the 'Branded Clothing - but Fiona can always send it on by AmTrak!)
Cheers, Stay Safe Mate
