Day:186, Words:186

Another ridiculously early morning for the Øksfjord gang ahead of a long, glorious day of queues, planes, busses, customs and tantrums.

Today the destination was Side in Turkey. It began with a dawn escape of fort knox, with a convoy of baggage and prams. Copenhagen lufthavn is just a refreshing hop, skip and a jump away from the central train station and one of the most inexpensive journeys from a major city to an airport going around.

Reports from Øksfjord are quite normal for the beginning of July. The heat starved locals are waiting patiently for the short summer to finally begin. Some believe it is just around the corner, others are more pessimestic.

We chose to travel south.

One of the curious oddities when arriving in Turkey is the the compulsory purchase of a sticker to slap in the back of the passport. The cost of this'visa' depends upon the colour of your passport. While the Norwegians escape with a 15 euro purchase, the Australians will have to fork out three times as much. Curiously, the sticker attendants do not accept Turkish lira.
