Taking the Olympus out of Olympos

So clearly there's been a lack of updates here and as it happens we're now in Turkey. The last four days have been spent at sea on a gulet cruise from Fethiye to Olympos and given that the boat hardly had electricity, wireless internet wasn't on the cards.

Ness' little camera has also spent some time with us in the sea and apparently when they say waterproof, Olympus didn't quite have the abuse we dished out in mind (although we never went deeper than the 3 metres and always washed it out with fresh water). So after two years of taking the little Olympus 720SW everywhere with us, it is now a just-out-of-warranty paperweight. Ahh well, such is the life of a traveller.

Accordingly we have reverted to some ancient technology known as film so photos on the internet are going to be few and far between. And the last time we downloaded the photos from the xD card was on some Greek island a few weeks ago.

But we do have the Macbook's webcam so here's us enjoying a local brew in Göreme - if you look hard in the background you can see one of the "fairy chimneys" this place is famous for.
