Well we made it to Turkey arriving yesterday afternoon in Fethiye harbour on the south western coast and are really loving it! We can't believe what the landscape looks like - high mountains all around (even some with snow on the caps)and pine trees covering the hills - the smell is wonderful - we both thought we lost our noses in the desert so it's a treat for the senses and so beautiful. Blue Moon is happily sat at anchor in 40 feet of water, Fethiye is a natural enclosed harbour so it feels like we're on a lake high up in the mountains!
We spent today walking around the town getting our bearings, it's a pretty big place with lots of great Cafes and Restaurants and little back alleys of shops to get lost in. The people are really nice and very laid back and it's great not to get hassled to buy things at every turn! The temperature here is a lot colder than we've had for a long time so we're getting used to wearing long trousers and fleeces again. The good thing is summer is coming so it's just going to get warmer each month but to be honest it's quite lovely to wrap up for a change! We plan to stay here for a week or so and then hop along the coast to the bigger town of Marmaris to the west, our visa lasts for three months and if our first stop is anything to go by we'll probably stay and cruise the coast for the duration.
