Our Turkish Sail and last days with Maria

Hiya there,

This is Fethiye on the south coast of turkey.

We stayed here before Greece, after Greece and before our week long sail, and afterwards before we went up to Istanbul.

These literally cost us 1.50 AUS, Pomegranate Juice and so amazing!

Our pal the turtle

On the sail, we would stop multiple times per day in a sheltered cove to swim. The water was always so blue and clear that you could nearly always see the sea floor below you and all the many varieties of fish going about their everyday business.

Our little window in our "couple cabin."

Believe it or not, but these are all mini fish!

This was taken on a little island that is only accessible via boats. It was beautiful.

Homemade icecream

We ate the most amazing food, and lay on the deck in the sun. Read novels and had such a great time.

Back in Istanbul we booked into our most expensive night and the best place we'd stayed at the whole trip together. Finishing with a bang. This photo was taken about 3 minutes after we arrived.

This photo was taken at the end of the evening. We made a nest of pillows and watched movies and went through some photos of our trip together. Which was a fitting last night of us backpacking around Europe together. As I was flying out to London the following Morning and Maria to India the following afternoon.

After a hurried hug in the dark I jumped in a taxi and before long found myself at the airport.

This is the mist over Istanbul in the morning as I flew out.

I had the best 4 and a half months travelling with Maria through Europe and couldn't possibly have asked for a better travel companion. But now for a month in London which was going to be a lot slower but equally enjoyable.

Love Katie xx
