For the third year on a row I went to Turkey in early summer - this time a round trip in the Eastern part of the country. After a organized group travel (2008) and an individual trip (2009), I now went with a small group of five people, three moderately fanatic bird watchers, our guide Matty Musters, and myself. The challenge was to find a good compromise between our different interests - something we managed quite well to do! By following the birdwatchers sometimes, I came to places I wouldn't immediately choose to visit myself - which led to some pleasant surprises! (All photos showing me: courtesy of Peter de Rouw.) |
As always, Matty was the infallible guide and supplier! |
As the local people are very kind but also very interested in what we were doing, someone like Matty keeping them busy is a must if you want to make efficient use of your scant travel time. |
