Continued on the undulating road to the end of the lake with misty mountains rising up from the opposite shore, the crags looking indistinct and smuged in the morning light. As we left the lake behind our way wound through a maze of conical hills, and rows of olive trees. We passed the occasional strip town, no more than a few cafes existing to serve the dolmus buses which plie the highways. Made an early stop before lunch as there are scant places to stay now we've headed inland. Milas is a busy market town which few other tourists visit, a slice of real Turkish life. We wandered around in the afternoon buying essential snack supplies, having become addicted to honey and sesame coated roasted peanuts and mixed bags of roasted chickpeas, sweetcorn and pumpkin seeds.

What have we got on this trip now? Sounds like a couple of budgies.
Hola! Greetings from Lima, where we are sitting in the 'business centre' of our hotel, giggling at the blog & various comments (budgies??? hamsters perhaps...did you all know that guinea pig is a delicacy in Peru? We're saving that for another day, funny eh?). Have just had raw seabass (ceviche to the initiated) and crayfish risotto. Spent today flying over the Nazca lines (incredible)in small plane swooping from side to side in a way designed to make every Japanese tourist on said plane spend most of journey with head in sick bag.....and almost non-camping-mum too, while veg- gard was handed camera to take over official photo capture. Looking forward to seeing your photos of Turkish sights/sites, and will certainly have some Latin American ones in return. Hope that the uphill is on the decrease. Much love from us both. xxx
Do not eat guinea pig! I will have sleepless nights just thinking about the little darlings being spit roasted. If you knew Rambo and his girls you would think twice about being so insensitive.
