Even though travel restrictions are easing I am not yet minded to risk it so I still have no new stories to post so I continue to go through my picture archives and see where I was on this day at any time in the last few travelling years.
On 25th September 2014 I was on a coach excursion visiting Ancient historical sites in Turkey…
The problem with bus trips is that you cannot choose your travelling companions – it is a game of chance!
I imagined that we would be accompanied on this trip by middle aged historians in crumpled linen suits and battered panama hats, archaeologists carrying trowels and leather bound notebooks and the entire cast of a Merchant Ivory film but at the first pick up we were joined by a Geordie and boisterous Lithuanian family and then horror of horrors by a noisy bunch of women who looked as though they should really be going to a market rather than one of the World’s finest archaeological sites.
Have Bag, Will Travel 
The place looked to be heaving with tourists.

Ephesus is a big tourist draw and that day it was especially busy. I thought of it as perhaps that was what it was like two thousand years ago when it was a big city and port.

And what’s wrong with Geordies? I started life as a Geordie and it hasn’t done me any harm! Others may disagree…
