Motorhome travels, Off to Lake Girdev
Will she won’t she? Oh the joys … 14.8.23 We bought Naz, our motorhome in May 2021. Post covid, life’s too short, it’ll be fun blah blah. In an ideal world we would have bought a young one, with low mileage. Instead we bought within our means, a 15 year old ex public bus with…
Off we go to Ayvalik
Motorhome travel to Ayvalık and beyond. 15.9.23 After the head gasket palaver Naz had to go back a week later for control.. She has been puffing out huge plumes of black smoke since coming back from the garage. Then they couldn’t actually fit her in til Tuesday. Nightmare. Either way we’re going to Ayvalik, we…
Motorhome trip to the northern Aegean – Ayvalık
Ayvalık, yes or no? 16.9.23 There’s definitely something in the insulation of Naz’s walls that puts me into a sleep coma. (if there is any?) As usual I was out like a light by 10.30pm. I woke at 6am, normal for me these days. John came to life around 9.15am. “Did you hear the street…
Motorhome travel Northern Aegean – Ayvalık
Much more chilled today, in Ayvalık 17.9.23 Another night where I heard nothing until the morning, John said the traffic died down and then wasn’t too bad. Today John can collect his race pack from Paşa Liman. It’s a few km from where we we’re parked, too far to walk before a run. From where…
Motorhome travels, Ayvalık half marathon day and Cunda Island
21km to do, then more travel 18.9.23 Half marathon day, up at 7.45am, nipples and feet taped up, and that was just me.. 😂 Johns’ trusty running shoes will probably just about survive this run, they’re starting to look the worse for wear. Before the race John fell in a bit of crumbling pavement, slid…
Motorhome travels around northern Aegean -Bozcaada
Howling gales and 3 ferry rides 19.9.23 It was so unbelievably windy last night in Geyikli. When we woke up we wondered if the ferries would still be running, they were. So lovely that the dogs were able to run around safely by the beach where we parked. Even Lazy Maisy had a run! We…
Motorhome travel -Gallipoli Peninsular
War Memorial sites in Gallipoli Türkiye 20.9.23 Last night we were parked outside Kilitli Castle it was lovely and peaceful. The only downside was nowhere condusive to eating brekkie outside so we made do with a bowl of muesli. Lonely Planet & Rough Guide made visiting the Gallipoli peninsular war graves and memorial sites sound…
Motorhome travel – Hasanboguldu & Bergama
Wonderful Bergama, Pergamon Turkiye 22.9.23 I was convinced I’d never sleep at Hasanboguldu but the next I knew it was morning. Eight and a half hours had passed and we were still alive. We went off to see the waterfall and lake. 20 tl each to go in. The wolves we heard last night turned…
Motorhome travel in Türkiye -Milas
Exploring culture in Milas, Muğla 23.9.23 Aliağa beach promenade was a nice place to stay overnight. We made breakfast and sat on the lawn before debating whether to go to Milas or not. We see the signpost for Milas everytime we go near Muğla. Lonely Planet thinks it’s a good idea, so despite not being…
Motorhome travels with our beautiful Naz van- Akyaka
Last stop of our Northern Aegean motorhome trip – Akyaka, Muğla 24.9.23 It was dark when we arrived in Akyaka last night so waking up to this gorgeous view was a nice surprise. Considering we were well off the beaten track it was surprisingly busy and noisy. Around 11.30pm a boat owner was running his…
