We woke to the sound of prayers wafting from the minarets of the Blue Mosque, the haunting sound that was to follow us throughout our journey. The verses of the Koran are chanted five times a day from mosques in every village and town in this country of surprises.
In homage to a dear friend who died recently and had asked me to write up our trip together five years before, I returned to Turkey, now accompanied by my artist friend Graham Davis.
Turkey is a huge peninsula that juts out into the Eastern Mediterranean with 5000 miles of coastline, and mountains twice the height of Blue Mountain Peak. We visited only a fraction of Anatolia, the region across the Bosphorus in Asia, but moved from dense forests, to salt lakes, gorges, and the extraordinary landscape of Cappadochia."
