You have captured the beauty of the Turkish countryside wonderfully.  Add to that the very friendly people and you have a super holiday.

Oh, yes. This is important! I didn't mention the very kind people - always helpful and never bothersome.
Some of them have only one nasty habit - they love crocus and some orchids - for a snack! 

To all

Thanks again for the compliments!
Gerd
