Thanks @Faith-and-Hope, how's your adventure going? Is there a particular thread your putting updates? Jetlag takes about a week to settle I'm told, and I'm sure there's son Celtic wisdom to get over your post viral fatigue How's WH coping with his obcessive routines while travelling? A challenge I would think 😕 Hope this is a time yo rekindle some first love maybe.
Any good churches to visit there? Did you go this morning? Love ancient architecture and history. Churches are great for it. Hugz xox

Hadn't thought to start a new thread ....

In transit again today and have to go again now .... found a brief moment with wifi .... will catch you later and answer the above.

Hi to everyone else .... 👋🏽💗💕

Re: Far and Away

Wow @Former-Member ..... that is amazing .... ❣

I have extended family who have travelled there, but we haven't been.

It reminds me of Santorini .... cave houses ....

If you scroll back to pages 78 - 86 on this thread you will find images from Santorini, and descriptions of life there, from modern times to the islamd's ancient history.

Thanks for sharing these beautiful photos .... 😊💕

G'night .... 😴💤

Great photos @Faith-and-Hope @Former-Member

I bet they make some yummy pizzas in that oven @Faith-and-Hope

Re: Far and Away

@Former-Member Funny you should say that about the pizzas. I think that is what the connection was for me when I saw Faith's Furnaces. I had the best Turkish pizza out of the ones they reminded me of. A lift we got in Turkey took us a long way out of his way to buy us what he considered the best Turkish pizza. And omg it was.

Myself and the guy I was with could only look at each other and say "OMG". It was just a tiny village. One little shop with a heap of men playing backgammon out the front of it but wow!

I have no idea how they made it taste like they did. I'd say the furnace had a huge part in it. it was so simple, it looked so plain, but whatever the spices they used on it - and the texture.. it was just out of this world. 👍🏼

Hi everyone ..... 😊💕

In Greece they use Barley flour in the base, if its traditional ....its whole meal but looks and taste like an amazing white flour dough ....

Also their olive oil used in cooking has a different, a-may-zing flavour .... and their oregano is more a wild marjoram than what we have here .....

Hi @Former-Member ..... on my way out, will get back to you later.

Re: Far and Away

Sadly where I was nobody could speak English and I could only speak about 6 words of Turkish so I couldn't find out what was in mine @Faith-and-Hope. 😞 But I sure do remember it! 🙂 I would imagine it would be akin to what you are saying.

All I know is, yes it was AMAZING... literally made the two of us speechless and that in itself was almost miraculous because some would say it couldn't be done. Never had a pizza that's come close to doing that before.. 😛

Re: Far and Away

You're making me feel hungry @Former-Member 😂🍕

I think I'm going to have to go to the shop and buy ingredients for pizza. 😀

I haven't made them for ages. Used to buy wholemeal pita bread and add bbq sauce and toppings.

Nice to meet you, by the way. 😊👋💕

No worries @Faith-and-Hope 👍💕
Lots to do here too.

Re: Far and Away

Ixnay on bbq sauce @Former-Member 😸😈lol

In response to: Re: Far and Away

Re: Far and Away

@Former-MemberNice to meet you too 😄 Did you wind up satisfying that pizza urge?

@TABSo is that a "no thanks" to bbq sauce? Think I'm meeting you for the first time actually, so nice to meet you as well 🙂
