We're Chesca and Ben and River (🐶 ) and we usually live full-time in our self converted sprinter van, Sophia. After a year of travelling Europe, from Spain and Portugal to the island of Sicily, the pandemic brought us back home to the UK. Along with a secret project! We spent the winter re-building Sophia into a more sturdy overlanding rig, ready to take us across Africa - our next challenge. However, it's a trip we've now had to postpone. But when the wind changes - adjust your sails! We're now off on an Eastern voyage across to Greece, Turkey & beyond. I hope you enjoy this new adventure as we overland our way East.

Still jealous of you all. Both Linda and I loved Turkey, the Turks are so friendly as you said . I was in my wheelchair when we went and nothing was any trouble help was always at hand. Some of the food was delicious, when we got back home we had to diet☹️ we ate so much. Be good and take care but thank you for showing us those nice places. All our best Linda, Bob and Sir Barkalot 👵👴🐕xx

Seeing that wall between you and Syria reminded me of here and the times they have been trying to put up a wall between us and Mexico. I'm with Ben, I hope someday there is freedom to roam between countries without these walls separating us one from another. It would be great to see all of the Middle East. I had to bake some bread this morning so the smell from my oven and watching you all eat has been awesome. Las Vegas has nothing as far as food buffets compared to Turkey. Love the music you picked out for this road trip. Thank you for another wonderfully put together video for us.....love it!

[@OverlandingSophia]

It really is like that! It's so sad to think we need such borders and walls 😞 Ooo freshly baked bread! I wonder if we can make that in the van 🤔 One of THE best smells! Thank you for coming along with us as always, we look forward to your comments every week 🥰 xx

[@orhandincer2887]

Same thoughts from Turkey about walls and borders. Until December 2015 both of the Syrians and Turkish citizens could pass the border to the other country even without visas.

[@ThatScene]

In theory yes, I also like the idea of 'no borders'. But there is a reason that wall was built recently.

[@ggoddkkiller1342]

Sadly Mexico has a million times better conditions than Syria. Before the wall got built there were a lot of smuggling happening by Syrian groups including even isis and they were even committing terrorist attacks. While western media was wickedly claiming Turkey allowing it to happen!! After the wall pretty much all smuggling could be stopped so sadly there was no other way for safety.

[@revyera]

Wow the people you met are so nice and the camping space also so forthcoming. Honestly watching this first bit restored some believe in humanity for me 😂😂😂 Also the preparation of this regional food looks more like creating art than actually cooking, so that's for sure something you can't easily diy 😂 Now that my stomach is growling I'll thank you for this week's vlog, have a wonderful day guys, much love 💕 xx

[@OverlandingSophia]

Yes!! I think coming from Western Europe this level of hospitality and friendliness is pretty unusual! But it's SO amazing to experience it 🥰 This is the last food tour we'll probably do in a long time, so no more stomach growls after this one, we promise! Sending lots of love to youuu xx 💕

Hey Guys! It’s nice to be watching another episode! The Great Wall of Turkey 🇹🇷 👍, how strange to see such a pile of chillies 🌶 drying.. the coffee break view is quite expansive, and what a friendly farmer! 👌👍. The hospitality shows no bounds. And for them to show you the way onwards, what a man!! 👌👍. Wow! A free campsite! How absolutely brilliant!! 🚿 💦 ⚡️.. I already look like I’m pregnant, so being let loose in a city of food prob not a good idea 😂😂. This Bazaar is so interesting, would take ages to have a look around. My father had a face of horror at the condiments while you were eating, he’s so funny! I thought it all looked amazing, especially the Kofte. Wow! The mixed grill!! 🤩 😯.. I bet you’re so stuffed!! 😂😂. Ah river looks so knackered! And cute!! We’ve got a Turkish takeaway near us and he sells Backlava so going to try some! See you next week guys! Can’t wait!! 👌👍

[@OverlandingSophia]

Pahahah Mark you make us laugh 😂 Yeah the food was amazing! We rolled into the van and I fell into a food coma. Honestly it's hard to explain how much food was in that city, we didn't even see 1/3 of it! Yes try the baklava! Let me know if you love it as much as I do 😋 x

[@ahmetbaklan2031]

At that 4:04 point, stop the video and take a look at this image, it's incredible. Marianne, who came to Gaziantep from England, is chatting with the local people while eating their pides (gözleme) they have in their hands and with those people, they can talk sincerely as if they have known each other for 40 years, as if they were friends, even though they speak a completely different language. When I paused this scene for a while and analyzed it through the images, my eyes really got tears.

Absolutely numero uno guys. The word " slaver" does not even begin to explain it!!!!!!!! We wish you all a wonderful trip. We live in SW France and motorhome with our two cats, well we used to until eighteen months ago before the curse of Wushan descended upon us all! Now getting ready for our first trip out down to the Algarve for winter.. From you guys: We notice that you travel with your dogs and there does not appear to be any major problems ....so...how do you think we would get on in Turkey with our two felines please? Plus, is it relatively easy to access Turkey in a M/H? Any info would be gratefully received. All we can think of is Turkish food!!

[@OverlandingSophia]

Ah thanks so much Frederick! Aren't you guys lucky living down in the SW of France 🤩Yeah we've not really had any problems with River... we're really careful when we arrive in a new place to check the area for stray dogs and if they are there, to introduce River slowly. There are lots of stray dogs in Turkey and they like to approach the camper vans as tourists often feed them, so it's something to think about if you're coming here with two cats. In terms of accessibility, yes, you can easily do Turkey in a MH, and many people do!

21:45. The dessert, you are eating, is called katmer. It is creamy, because it has kaymak and tereyağı. Tereyağı is a butter, got from milk. Kaymak is the cream, it appears while boiling the milk.

Yes we found this out afterwards! Thank you for sharing this. It was a bit too sweet for me but Ben loved it 😋

Gaziantep and eastern Turkey in general is just a heaven for food lovers and you actually missed the best dishes which are homemade!! Restaurants don't sell those dishes as they require way more work..

Every reason for us to go back! 🤩
