Turkey is more up to date, more expensive and a lot hotter than I thought it would be. It's been over 100 every day. I try to do something in the morning, hunker down in the afternoon and enjoy the evenings. So far I've visited a two ruins and traveled a couple of hundred miles by bus. (see pictures). I've planned out my remaining time in Turkey to include sleeping in a cave, hot air balloon ride,mountain hike and four nights in Istanbul. No time for Bulgaria, maybe next trip.
