Headed off to Costa Rica at the end of the month and I’ll be taking a very un-Central American book, Colin Thubron’s “Shadow of the Silk Road.”

My favorite travel book is Holy Cow by Sarah Macdonald. She’s an Australian journalist who reluctantly found herself living in India when her fiancee was transferred there. The cultural observations and personal growth she was forced to experience are really intriguing.

… take at least one classic – and make yourself read it. It improves the English wot they learnt you at skool (sic) . Improves the mind and you never know, you may even like it! Have a great time and remeber all of us still in the trenches…..

How about “The Alchemist” by Paulo Coelho ?

Do have a wonderful holiday!! I hope you end up loving Turkey as much as we did. Maybe look into a gulet cruise since it is so hot.

Don’t miss Ephesus, but be there when it opens on a non cruise boat day. We had the place to our selves for the first hour and we were there in high season!!

If you can make it to Pumukkale …the healing waters are soooo healing & it is the only place you can swim with the Gods…in the same place as Cleopatra.

Turkey is unique and soo cheap. Have a ball!
