		FROM SIS MOUNT TO VERCANIK MOUNT, EAST BLACKSEA, TURKEY 'When summer comes with its sweltering heat and life in the city becomes intolerable, we head south, in other words to where it’s even hotter, on holiday.

		KARAKOY - ISTANBUL, TURKEY 'Just get into university; the rest is easy.’ So our high school math teacher told us. As far as the courses went, he was absolutely right. That was the easy part.

		GORELE, GIRESUN, TURKEY Spending the summer holidays on the Black Sea was a hard decision when the Aegean and Mediterranean coasts wait in July with outstretched arms. Not only that, but this was going to be a holiday spent entirely within the confines of one Black Sea town. What if it rained? What if the highlands were enveloped in fog? What if the sun never showed its face? Then what? Inside me a battle raged... more information

The next minute I was already noting my next adventure in my travel diary:... more information
