    Thank you for a great trip report. Reliving my summer 2014 trip around Iceland for 2 weeks and seeing the Winter difference. Not least of which is losing 20+ hours of daylight a day!!

    Touring western Turkey

    Oh and when booking ahead- many hotels need you to email re pricing and email CC details, might seem dodgy but we had no issues despite reservations about this method ! I tended to email number, exp date of card and CCV separately which made me feel happier and no issues arose with cards. you...
