Another thank you to our mate Burak who is helping to translate with the garage for us, it’s going to be difficult but it looks like we might have the car up and running again within 2 or 3 days. In the mean time some interesting developments are taking place. I have successfully managed to blend in with the local population with a hat that was haggled for for 15 lira. Now everyone thinks I’m a Muslim. When explaining our mission to one person at the place we’re staying, they asked if i was doing it for my religion. Shaun has been finding and exploring some incredible Byzantine sites, and Simon continues to stuff his face with Turkish cuisine. He also managed to be successfully kidnapped by someone trying to force him to buy a jacket at the Grand Bazaar. While we’re having communication difficulties and trying our hardest to get on the road again, some quite amusing stories and friendly gestures from the locals are coming out of this.
