Have come to Turkey on a study tour with mum. Life on tour has been pretty hectic, and really haven't had time to do my blog. We finally have some free time so thought I would try and remember what I have done and update my blog. We are on a two week tour and are on about Day 11, we have been to a number of different regions and each is so different. Turkey is certainly a land of contrasts and the people have been very welcoming.
First stop was Urfa, a 90 minute flight from Istanbul down int the south east of Turley. They describe it as the birthplace of civilization and it certainly is. It is dry and harsh country, it was around 33 degrees each day and quite mystical when you heard the call to prayer echo across the city.
Looking across to the country where Abraham would have settled.
The remains of a pagan temple one of the first built after the great flood.
