TISL 2006

Our second trip to the Middle East with Iran as a definitive highlight.

We were gone for four months and started in Istanbul from where we crossed the Anatolian plateau to reach the Iranian border.

After 5 weeks in Iran, we crossed to eastern Turkey and then Syria, visiting Lebanon on the way.

We returned to Turkey to make our way back to Istanbul with a detour to Cappadocia.

One of the most famous landmarks in the region: the stone seal.

This huge complex used to be a whole monastery, hewn into the rock. Not much is left standing these days but it's still a wonderful place to explore. Watch Vero as she climbs up a ladder to enter a chapel.

This picture epitomises the landscape better than any words could.
