[@philjtephenson41]

Had to change our Hisaronu trip until 23/06 because we are expecting Turkey to be on the Amber section of the UK traffic light system this week, we now have a much more manageable 7 weeks before we get there, hoping that the lockdown works and we can get over there this year, love the vid - always informative and interesting!

[@TREADtheglobe]

Thank you

[@oguzylmaz6657]

Question: Have you ever felt in danger while traveling in Turkey? As a second, what exactly did you think about Turkey before coming to Turkey? How did your thoughts change after you arrived? Finally, if the Turkish state gave you the opportunity to change something you want, if you could enact a new law, what would you like to change in Turkey? An outside eye is always good (:

Hello from Kentucky! I've been following you two since the 'car park' on the first lock down....have learned a lot about Turkey...My question to you is have you heard a time table when you can get your vaccine? Are you considered a 'resident' for the priority of the vaccine? Hope you two can get it soon and then once the numbers come down I look forward to joining in on the rest of your adventure...cheers!

I did wonder what you would do in the next lockdown,how lovely that you can return to Dalyan.At this rate I may even see you there one day.You are destined to stay in Turkey and where better than Dalyan.

[@paulaeast]

Question: With the pandemic forcing you to adapt your travel style for this trip and slow down and really experience Turkey and its people and culture, do you now regret the speed you travelled through some countries previously, ie. you mentioned on a previous video that you were in Bosnia for 4 days? And do you think you’ll continue with a slower pace of travel once you can head onwards?

[@formatcforcortex2465]

you made right decision, in previous lock-down daily deaths was around 60-80 maybe, this time its over 300 daily. so this is a peak. no one can predict how long will it take.
