Ok, I finally managed to pic a few pictures from my turkey trip to display and brag about here on ADDF.

Here is a simple brief of what happend.
I went with my Father, his Girl Friend; Linda and my two buddies Arend (Or Eagle in English) and Jonno.

We first went to Istambul to see some of the Architecture (Arend, Jonno and Myself are all architecture students and My father is an Architect)

Then went off to a place in Turkey called Gocek. From their we sailed to Bodrum and back. this took 2 weeks in total. One of our stops in an ancient city Efeses, youll see some pics of that too.

On our return trip we stoped over in Dubai for 2 days.
Ok, here are some pics.

Looking at the Blue Mosque from the Hagia Sophia.
BTW, the Hagia Sophia was commisoned to be build by Constantine as a Cathederal, it was later converted to a muslim mosque.

Yes I have, but she sort of know's that im not so very in to her now. . . I think.
We will just see what happens next year when I see her again. But im organising a Trip to the bush wiht some of my friends and I dont really wanna invite her over. Think she will be pee'd off when she finds out that she is not top of my invite list.

urgh, I'm such a moron, when I first looked at the title of this thread "Sailing in Turkey" I thought you were talking about actually turkeys, cause thanks-giving has just finished and theres alot of turkeys left over I thought you bought loads of them so....well....you would be "Sailing in turkeys" or "up to your armpits in turkeys", that kinda thing, as soon as I noticed there were pictures.....needless to say, I deemed myself intelligence challenged. :P

Some pretty cool photos. I like this building - the fact that it reflects the scenery back at you. Makes it look like it's been painted on.
